- Developer with a focus on software architecture, build engineering and design thinking — ~20 years industry experience; degrees in Math and C.S.

- Former agile consultant with Pivotal, ThoughtWorks, Test Double; have held technical leadership roles at high-growth startups

- Looking for new opportunities and excited to see what the future holds! Most of my previous roles have involved backend Ruby or Java but open to any collaborative development work at a senior or staff level.

- Recently developed a focused writing app (https://conclavewriter.com/) and currently exploring a card battler (https://cardboard-heroes.fly.dev/)

Planes always sucked of course but corporate wetwork squads take it over the line, I think

Longtime user too and overall it is great. The local first speed is hard to beat. The open core model is interesting too. But yes the writing experience is sometimes a bit messy, copying is sometimes awkward. There’s an annoying bug in the iOS client where you have to reopen the app to play a different audio file, which is not awful but a bit grating.

this feels like a serious work of art

This is amazing! This is a fantastic concept generator. The verisimilitude with specific composers and techniques is more than a little uncanny. A few thoughts after exploring today…

- My strongest suggestion is finding some strategy for smoothing over the sometimes harsh-sounding edge of the sample window - Perhaps it could be filling in/passing over segments of what is sounded to user as a larger loop? Both giving it a larger window to articulate things but maybe also showcasing the interpolation more clearly… - Tone control may seem challenging but I do wonder if you couldn’t “tune” the output of the model as a whole somehow (given the spectrogram format it could be a translation/scale knob potentially?)

absolutely love this project!! will definitely use this as compositional aid...

a few thoughts:

- it would be nice to go "the other direction" here too -- from a set of chords, tell me the possible ambient key environments

- the only thing ux wise i can pick at is the squiggly underline

- support for modulation would be amazing (a basic query there might be just "find any/all common chords between two selected key environments")

I’ve built a number of toy language projects with Ohm and it’s really wonderful. Just a joy to use the visual tooling also. All around really beautiful machinery

Definitely an almost amusing overlap between different senses of “singularity”.

Such civilizations might be like “simple germs”, their self-sustaining black hole vessels interacting and stirring things together; perhaps the cores of the most “interesting” galaxies are sentient, waiting for one femto-tech civ to arise from a trillion slime-ball planetoids — to make first Contact...

The more general possibility of “intersecting” reality at right angles has been taken up in a few additional works I can think of: in Count to Infinity and Excession.

Don't these definitions have a more solid statistical economic meaning here? As in: middle "class" is the middle quintile of income. This makes the other strata fall pretty reasonably too:

80%-100%: Ruling Class

60-80%: Upper Class

40-60%: Middle Class

20-40%: Working Class

0-20%: Lower Class
