I concur. Really great post! Been an engineer for a while, starting to prepare to put together SaaS products, so this will be useful to come back to. Thank you, OP!

I agree. It is indeed a novel project, but has little to actually do with TeX.

This is an excellent essay about both writing and being so different.

an awesome (in the literal sense) piece of work - hardware, software, engineering, design, communication, promotion

No, but I'd say it's more than that, given the article.

Great answer.

Why can't CEOs just build products and help customers and abstain from moral crusades?
minademian | 8 years ago | on: How to Write a Song
Written a few songs. This article is good advice and it captures the process really well. It honors the sporadic nature of idea generation. #2 is incredibly true, just capture them, even if you're driving on a highway! You'll never get the moment back...
#3 and #4 are novel. I'm glad I've learned about them now.
#5 and #8 is a matter of schools of thought. I don't agree. And perhaps because I've written 10 verses drivelling about love. :) I think that if the 10 verses are adequately compelling, through construction and message, then it can lock in a listener. Pandering only to what works in hits is limiting, in my view.
#6, #9, and #10 is also evidence of a mature songwriter. H/t.

Pretty measured essay. I went through my own LaTex fetish phase. The typesetting can get in the way of the writing. I've found it easier to first write in a text editor and then start typesetting once I'm pretty much sure of the content.

Commend Houseparty for their resilience. Can't be easy while the cat is staring you down, planning your demise.

this is incredibly fascinating and insightful.
side question: who composed the music? the guitar track is excellent. :)

this looks promising. I like how it teaches the concepts using plain Javascript without focusing on a tool or library. Kudos.

No. Do I need to in order to crack a half-joke? :)

i think the points raised, that addiction is normalized and that society decides what is an "addiction" or not, is novel and fresh.
