Demo chat application from the article using Durable Objects:

- A Public Room (to joint test):

Insanely awesome feature add (much needed for truly “serverless” application development). The power to scale here without insane infrastructure headache is amazing.

One day some kid is totally going to build a single-person billion dollar company from his mom’s basement.

That already happened, see plentyoffish.com, created by Markus Frind in Vancouver, the first (or first popular anyway) free online dating website. Sold for $575M. No outside funding, and for a long time it was just him and his girlfriend running it, working about 10 hours a week. When he sold it to match.com, they had 75 employees and he was working normal hours.
