For over an hour, they've been trying to think of a new joke
"We are also releasing two other plugins: our VS Code plugin, and our neovim plugin. Today, these plugins only provide basic editing features like syntax highlighting and code folding."
The Distribution Guide (https://socketsupply.co/guides/#distribution-guide) has instructions for code signing on Apple platforms, but I'm curious about the "weekend project" angle. Like, does `ssc` produce exe, apk? Could I use it to make a self-contained app that can launch without installation on Linux?

But I think Arduino is a good choice for this.
1. The microcontroller isn't generating audio onboard, it's driving solenoids to hit something. Arduino can do that — the solenoids have travel time but Bela wouldn't solve that.
2. This is more like a sequence playback machine, there's no continuous real-time interactivity. Play/pause is the main interaction and a few ms is ok.
(If you wanted to duet with it latency-free the top of the xylophone is completely exposed so you can just play it normally.)
Slightly harsh but probably an easy fix!
To me Neobrutalism is all about being brutally readable (or maybe that's just what I like about it)
What would be your advice to someone seeking to do this?
e.g. - is it simply a matter of intelligence, perseverance, attitude? - is there a technical or social practice you find helpful?
It's a weird way to try to save money, imo. Down the line it just leads to confusion and repeat work.
They also underinvest in documentation, with the same result.
