   Could we connect? I have some background in visual programming languages (grad school), and would love to discuss these ideas with you, esp. the "programming=text" assumption. Thanks!

   It sounds like there's hope for you, especially since you are now aware of what you wish to mindfully pursue. I'd suggest that you not beat yourself up over the past, and always, always keep in mind the Creative Gap: https:/

   Apologies, but are you using a bot? This sounds like it was generated using GPT-3. I realize you might be a human with feelings, but your screed above has a curious structure that looks... off somehow. Anyway, if you are genuinely angry and

   I'm surprised that your insightful comment (questioning the very elephant-in-the-room assumption that we all must have content to consume) has not been voted higher by this community of hackers, tinkerers, and makers. Indeed, why is th

    Thanks for checking it out! You're right that a browser-based app is not the same thing. At the same time, as an individual maintaining this entire thing, I can't invest the time and effort to port this to multiple platforms, wher

    I'm slightly biased (as the creator of BlockStudio), but I think Scratch/Snap are basically graphical editors for textual code. They solve a different problem (preventing syntax errors) than what BlockStudio is aiming for: using a

    Thank you for sharing this. It's interesting to see how certain valuable ideas (having multiple pieces of reading matter open) can really take off once key impediments (space usage, weight, cost) are removed -- today, browser tabs are

    Thank you for expressing this nuanced idea so well. It ties in with deBord's "Society of the Spectacle" [0], a theory that societies evolve from Being, to Having, and ultimately devolve into merely the Appearance of Having. Y

    Here's an interesting notion -- that a lot of wisdom is simply bound up in the integral over time of personal life experience. Thus, the value of wisdom is individual, and non-transferrable -- it can neither be carried "backward

    This is a great point. There are many avenues where one can invest time+money to make a positive impact on the world, yet "doing a Ph.D" is unfairly held up on a pedestal, even though there is no hard science showing that grad sch

    Thanks for writing this up. I'm always interested in new approaches to visual programming, that move away from text -- your comment tells me that DynamicLand is still firmly anchored in text-based territory.
