Kind of like this recent HN post, “Fractal Tasks and the Journey through the Forest of the Infinite”: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33481368 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33481368 I have a lot of music gear, including one of those analog modular synthesizers that Eno mentions. It’s so easy to get lost in timbres and textures. And then on top of that, it’s so easy to get inside of a great loop and just layer it up into a big, lush sound, but not a song. More and more, I see the parallels between my history as a composer/audio engineer and software engineer. After becoming an SE, I can dive into that same mode that I’m in when programming, but just building a musical composition. Or maybe it’s the other way around. Anyway, both tasks require the skill of zooming in and out on the scope of what you’re building.
