   Both art and kitsch are emergent judgements that result from how people practice aesthetics and creativity at scale. It's a fair question to ask individuals as long as you're more interested in what they think about art than hopin

   For the benefit of those who see the article but can't reach the site, I think one of the interesting parts of the project is the artist's statement about how the idea was sparked by interacting with friends in technical fields wh

   On the upside, the existence of that friction definitely points to a gap where value can be added. Another likely source of friction where you can add value is the work anyone working on multiple information sources (whether this is several

   Once in a blue moon I get the urge to run some analysis or another on sports stats, but I almost inevitably end up having second thoughts when I realize obtaining good data is going to be an ongoing chore.

   We obviously draw distinctions between art (whether fine or folk) and design, but these are largely descriptive distinctions that have little bearing on what someone else ought to make or not. The absence of a definition codifying the funct

    I think Lisa's post may be conflating the task of the critic with the task of the artist or designer. I don't think we'd try to argue that a band is responsible for making clear to a critic whether they're trying to be p

    There's a lot of back-and-forth over whether it is easy or not or whether one comparison or another works best. I think it's fine to compare learning to write code with learning to write human language. The best of us will still m

    I think jargon is a bit of a scapegoat. Documentation and writing about technical topics has roughly the same risk; I think we've all seen sentences or paragraphs that are entirely impenetrable if you don't know the terminology an

    As someone with a bad memory as well, I don't think you'll find a silver bullet here. Think about it this way: I think almost everyone's done some form of exercise in school or online that shows how bad most people are about

    When you explain your problem, I feel like we might share a trait, which I could pithily describe as difficulty separating/ranking/comparing/organizing/categorizing things. So, I find it very taxing to make the kinds of

    I'll try a less pithy approach: In 2009 I started learning to program for an art project I wanted to get off the ground. I had taken a few courses in programming several years previous, but outside of the context of projects I cared de

    I think you're still talking about a small slice of what you can learn by getting your hands dirty, even if it's all "wrong" and you learn a language that can't be re-used. The "slice" thing is especially
