Defiantly! As a guitar player you can also use it for live looping.

Keep in mind that Lite version barely has any instruments so you'll have to either use 3rd-party plugins or rely on sampling. A few month ago I decided to start fresh and removed a…

I honestly don’t understand why people use LastPass when everything about it screams poor quality. Is it the lack of taste or alternatives for non Apple platforms?

I dunno, YouTube's catalog of originals is so tiny it can be watched during free trial. Even if Netflix catalog is smaller outside US it's still huge, originals are great and I'm w…

Also, stopping hating JavaScript and embracing it allowed me to do awesome things. I used to be a system/backend-only engineer, but once you get your head around UI, you get a lot …

It's totally fine to be a nerd about your tools, but sometimes, productivity comes when you stop being one. I had major productivity boosts after switching from a nerdy tool, to a …

But you can extend IDEs just as well as you extend your vim/emacs. Not to mention, that for some users it's more convenient to hack extensions in Python (Sublime), Javascript/Coffe…

I spent quiet some time setting up mutt or trying to make a real IDE out of vim or Emacs, but in the end it's just cargo cult and waste of time. There a modern email clients, IDEs,…
