$bash got started with a bark.
Dressed in full carnival barker / ring leader regalia, Rob Spectre ushered in hundreds of Signal attendees into the carnival for coders.
Some hit the cotton candy stand, some ran to throw baseballs at old telecom hardware, and some tried to solve FizzBuzz, a classic coding challenge, as fast as possible. $bash attendees hopped from booth to booth to try and earn tickets, redeemable for prizes like Star Wars action figures, tiny drones, and more.
Each booth took a classic spin on a carnival game. Instead of playing ring toss, you pilot a drone and try to drop a ring onto bottles below. Instead of testing your aim in a watergun battle, you test your skills in a code challenge battle to advance your battleship forward in a code race.
The night was an absolute blast. Thanks to the coders, cotton candy eaters, and carnival staff that showed up.
