23:55 In case anyone didn't believe me that node is dominating, today there are over fifteen thousand packages in the npm repository. There were about 85,000 package downloads yesterday, about 2.5 million in the last week and in the last month there's been about a 10 million package downloads. So list let's do a quick comparison, Ruby Forge has nine thousand packages in it wo we're already more than that... Python has 24,000 packages in it but it's been around since nineteen eighty-nine so we've been around three years close in on them but be in the next year because we doubled last year and the amazing thing about all these packages is that the vast majority of them actually work together without a lot of glue, without a lot of problems. We're accelerating faster than any platform I've ever seen and the amazing thing about the situation is that it's not linear.
