100% agreed. It's interesting since I see over-abstraction often abused by "clever" engineers (sometimes quite experienced actually). Sometimes I wonder if they do that to make the…

I once had to work with a system that was refactored and abstracted away heavily to use Redux. It didn't work then, the implementation had way too many abstractions, doing any chan…

Dude, are you me? :D

Learn to play Jazz. It's like learning a language and you can "speak it" with a lot of people. It's also as hard as you want it to be if you're serious ;)

Amateur Jazz Pianist here. Purchased. I love pianoteq, but also tracking how much I'm practicing every week is great, and love the idea of the bookmarks.

Just came here to tay that Patlabor is pretty far from "obscure" as an anime. In the late 90s/early 2000's it was pretty big, although anime wasn't big in the United States yet and…

Yeah, he's a monster. I'm jealous, would be awesome to hear how did you get that opportunity. :)

Sullivan, in terms of where he's taking jazz piano is comparable to the greats in terms of impact at his current age/maturity. This is what Brad said about Sulli last May, when he …

This is a very uninformed opinion that I see very often. In bebop, LH can be deceptively simple (but actually rhythmically it's not so simple). However things have dramatically cha…

nit: It's "Casa de Papel", just made me curious about how deep your Spanish goes.

A few days ago I asked ChatGPT to help me find an argument to perform "some filtering operation" with a world class command line tool. It confidently aswered. ./tool arg1 param1 ar…

This is great, runs very fast in Chrome for me.

I'm pretty into wine, not in the industry though. But I've tried a lot of stuff (from garbo wines, to stuff like Rayas, Haut Brion, Romanee Conti, etc... some pretty heavy hitters)…

Hello, I'm trying to coach a fellow engineer friend and wanted to tell him more about what technical product managers do, their background and the kind of value that they can add. …

You're right! I remember actually trying the Arturia a while ago just to get that sound. Regarding the Oberheim brass... it's incredible :) , I probably wanted it to be the OB.

The brass you hear in Vangelis is probably an Oberheim OB-Xa, incredible brass sounds. The band toto made those sounds extremely popular here in the states too. Google who the Porc…

I'll give you money for this. Can I buy one?

I like Pax, if you can try the Syrah's from Jolie Laide... the Halcon Vineyard one is among the best Syrah I've tried in the US :)

Jazz Piano.

Love the comment! I honestly think California's most interesting wines being produced now are Syrah's. Crazy good stuff there made by the newer generations. Agreed on Cabernet Sauv…

The defining feature of Cheval Blanc is the huge amount of Cabernet Franc that goes into the blend, not the Merlot in general... some vintages like the 2011 one have less Merlot th…

There's very good teachers doing zoom lessons these days. And I think Taubman technique is the sort of thing that you'll need a teacher so that the concepts can be applied to how y…

This is great advice. And I completely relate, after two years of working on Jazz (one pretty seriously), I can say that I feel like I'm being born again as a Pianist. It's extreme…

I think it's very interesting and there's a lot to be gained by working on it (which I'm actually starting to do). The hardest scale in piano is C major probably, or at least one o…

You can read only up to a certain level (not super high). Out of the context of music, it would be like thinking about learning to play Tennis to a very high-level just by reading …
