If you're feeling festively spirited and want to help make sure @sonic_pi and the upcoming Tau5 flourish into 2025, please do consider supporting my open source development work via GitHub: github.com/sponsors/samaa…

Sam has consistently bridged two of my passions: programming and music - and probably yours too. His work impacts new and experienced developers. It reaches kids, teens, and adults alike. Please support him: github.com/sponsors/samaa…

It's your weekly reminder that I've just released an introductory course to live coding music with @sonic_pi. Learn everything you need to know to be able to code your first piece of music with my easy to follow lessons (including amazing subtitles). sonic-pi-studio.teachable.com/p/sonic-pi-int…

It’s so lovely to think that I helped build the live coding platform @TheBlackDog used to live code the incredible set they’re releasing for free…

Another happy person after completing my new introductory @Sonic_Pi course: “I am a musician and a coder and it was extremely exciting and well worth the price. I can’t wait to create so much music!” sonic-pi-studio.teachable.com/p/sonic-pi-int…

Just set a new personal record, started #erlang on a machine with 768 cores. Always fun with fancy hw to play with!

Does anyone have any advice on how I might further spread the word of my new @Sonic_Pi course? Marketing isn’t something I have much knowledge or experience of so I’d really appreciate some advice. sonic-pi-studio.teachable.com/p/sonic-pi-int…

I place my copy of Barthes’ Mythologies on my table. Take a sip of my espresso, look through the windows towards a passerby in the streets, take a deep breath and mutter to myself “semiotics”. Then I read my train schedule like it was a work by Francis Bacon. ☕️
