YOU are going to make a piece of generative art right now in 10 minutes. No watching tutorials, no downloading software. Just your browser and 21 lines of code. By the end you’ll have a basic, but fun abstract generative art collection like this. #generativeart

The fact is that so many of the rules coders follow are just dogma with no proof of anything. But the simple thing is that adding friction to read simple code is just bad, no matter how hard the industry tries to convince you otherwise 😂

The hardest part of having new folks join the team is removing the bad habits the industry has put on them. small functions for the sake of it? no, inline the code. too many classes, portocols...? no, simplify it. constants for a number that is used in 1 place? no inline it ❤️

After such a rotten year my financial safety net for @Sonic_Pi work is finally fully depleted. I’m now officially in survival mode. I do have a few things planned which *should* keep me going. However, if you were ever considering hiring me for anything - now is the time! ❤️

It would be helpful if you put this explanation about the ridiculous date estimation showing on the outage tracker on the actual outage tracker too. Not everybody knows they need to come to Twitter to find out the reason for the ridiculous date. Please remember that your elderly
