"What are you working on" was the standard conversation starter at the Startup School mixers. It's amazing how there are so many makers; makes me feel like the world's being improved every second.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noted that! That's one of the things that struck me: in "regular" settings, the usual question is "what do you do?"; at Startup School, it was always "what are you working on?".
