Maybe some of you might think “I could do that in 30% of that time”. Even having already learned real-time and audio programming from prior experience, I don't think I'd be able to put out 22 modules in 133 hours, or even 400 hours, let alone with appealing theming. Maybe I overthink everything, finding flaws in my own code, others' code, trying to build optimal designs, and every piece of conflicting information, every new idea, tears down ideas I've had, implemented, and had thought were good. EDIT: Finished reading, things i agree, things i don't agree, most of it is interesting... Some takeaways and my thoughts: - learning that free software clones of Mutable Instruments hardware exist - my perfectionism vs. the author's "just get it out" - "Inclusion of women" (probably controversial) - software licensing, community management (deflemask and snes tracker also screwed up their licensing/community, leading to Discord servers discussing and telling each other how the program authors are doing bad things) - wonder what the author would think of the Rust Audio community (and it's a community, not a company, and it seems quite approachable from what I've seen in it, lots of ideas, though half-finished UI/code frameworks) - synthesizers with timing vs. standalone sequencers - c++ vs. jit/gc/interpreted languages
