Amazing presentation, exploration, interactive… thing on generative music and the role of systems in creating that stuff.
Beautifully put together.

Link: You Are A Strange Loop
Fantastic video, amazing summary of the work of Douglas Hofstadter. But rather than being a tl;dr, it has served to make me pick up and study Gödel, Escher, Bach again, I never made it through the whole thing first time around.
Awesome humanistic approach to RFCs from Tanya Reilly – moving from binary “computer says no”s to a more iterative process by changing some simple wording.
Jeremy is spot on here. Acronyms are such a simple way to keep someone needlessly out of the conversation.
This is certainly something I need to work on within myself.

Link: Letterboxd Love Letter
Jim Cummings directed and starred in two great films I’ve watched in the past year, Thunder Road and The Wolf of Snow Hollow. Here he talks about why Letterboxd is such a great platform. I just subscribed at the end of last year, and going forward, I’ll definitely be keeping it going.
Chris Ferdinandi has thrown in some absolute gems in this talk he put together for wordpress.tv – The Lean Web, well worth 48 minutes (or less at > 1x) of your time.

Lovely piece from Terence Eden on squeezing more out of tech: What would happen if computers never got any faster?

My current favourite thing is screencasts with hilariously over the top soundtracks. Never has writing a netlify function in Vim and deploying a hello world endpoint seemed so cool.

I’ve just signed up for Coursera’s Programming Languages course. Watched the intro, and can’t remember feeling so hyped about an MOOC.
There’s something deeply artistic and elegant in
the way programming languages fit together and I want you to stretch your mind, and
I want you to look at this course as a fresh way to look about software.
A fresh way to think about programming that you’ve never thought about before.
We’re going to make you uncomfortable.
We’re going to do things in a strange way.
Quite a claim.
