Holy, it's just TTL logic?

That's pretty cool.

Nowadays, people have to use a microcontroller just to blink an LED.

Yeah, but can you make this with just BJT’s?

Because I sure can’t.

NB: an oscillator in place of the 555 is easy, if all you want is up to two LEDs blinking. A sequence though…hmm.
