It can be dormant in adults. I discovered it when I was 16 after meeting a pianist who had it and “taught me” how to do it. I kept getting faster and more accurate as I practiced solfeggio in music school in my 20s.

Crazy thing is it changes with age. At around 30 I started regressing. These days I identify the tones but shifted by one semitone.

I haven’t had my apps deleted but the fraud detection system flags me almost every time I interact with the platform. It’s very disruptive.

Hey I'm in a similar situation as you. I transitioned out of a dev job recently and I'm putting more energy into my business. I have experience in podcasts, at least from a technical point of view. Reach out if you want to connect [email protected]

WSJ has a very paternalistic view of Chilean politics. Lithium extraction (and mining) pollutes water and uses a ton of it. In Atacama, the driest desert in the planet, it is already extremely scarce for local populations. Chile is not blowing up anything. A sovereign nation can do as it pleases with its natural resources and take any measures to protect its natural environment and population. Anyway, a lithium electric car revolution is a myth, lithium is too scarce to be a scalable solution.

Yes, it's fantastic for indie game developers no doubt. After having a catalogue they can get a good paying job and build a career. Musicians, on the other hand, only get offered more exposure gigs.
