I haven't seen a mention of Ableton Live Packs (https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/). This is an ingenious method Ableton invented for non-developers to create new production technology (albeit, within the limits of Ableton) without knowing how to code. It has created a third-party ecosystem by giving musicians the power to create software packages. As a producer and heavy Ableton user, this is very useful and is a feature not offered by other music production programs. I feel Ableton and music production programs in general are underrated in the dev community - some of the best programmers I know work at these companies.

Wonderful video. I am a white man of european descent so it looks like I would be a great fit to work here.

You're getting downvoted for the throwaway, but I had the same thought. Amazing to see such a complete lack of diversity, and sad to see it being ignored by almost everyone in their responses.

oh for fuck's sake.

For people not familiar with it, Ableton is an astonishing piece of content-creation software. When it came out it felt revolutionary in terms of speed, solidity and cleanliness of the UI.

Content-creation software. Like Microsoft Word? Like Adobe Photoshop?

Probably many people would quit if _you_ were in their office.

Yeah, only he's a developer. A dog is a useless nuisance in an office.

Hmm.

  developer  dog

      x       x   hairy

I think I'll take the dog.

This is a company located in Germany, there are almost no non white people here...

I call doener kebab on that. Almost 10% are from Turkey. Depends on what you mean by almost.
