This gripping FT documentary on the effects of Brexit has now had 1.6m views in a week. Free to view. It is really worth your time - shows very clearly the economic cost of Brexit. Chapeau to producer @DanGarrahan and the other FT folk involved youtube.com/watch?v=wO2lWmgE…

Seriously, this is such an utter game changer.
This morning I was jamming with 3 separate machines (Windows, macOS and Pi) combining well-timed & synchronised audio, visuals, MIDI and OSC.
With @Sonic_Pi v4 kids can turn boring beige IT classrooms into live improv raves!

In order to automatically work with the network-shared metronome Link by @AbletonDev you will just need to start your @Sonic_Pi code with the word link.
It will automatically sync to the start of the next bar and the BPM will dynamically update as the network BPM changes.

New founders — Don’t hire a salesperson.
NO ONE can sell your product/company as well as you do.
You need to adapt your pitch (and product) to customer pain points.
Hiring someone to do this will slow your go-to-market and limit your own knowledge of the space.

My core goal for 2022 is to bring in enough money to continue developing & maintaining @Sonic_Pi.
My stretch goal is to increase financial sustainability so I don’t have to be as worried in 2023.

Mike Rose, who died this summer, modelled a deep compassion that asked teachers to understand students as whole people, with very mixed feelings about academic writing.
