It reminds me of the era when the Stasi kept archives of typewriter samples and typefaces so they could trace the authors of anonymous letters deemed subversive.

I'm wondering how long until they target CCC :/

Interesting claim, they indeed look similar and looks like both are claude generated.

I can read a person’s ADHD level by their parentheses usage. Unless they are lisp programmers.

Im from the opinion that not only for AI agents but detailed development docs (ADRs, Specs …) should live alongside each package.

High level and user docs in /docs

I usually think hard. I correlate subjects with different areas to find similarities.

What I miss is having other people who likes to think and not always pushing for shallow results

I’m not at the computer to check now, but you gotta consider that the music uses a sample from Cola Bottle Baby that was recorded in analog and most likely had transport drift when plagued in a different equipment. A lightly variation on the nominal speed can cause a fractional BPM.

When that is sampled and speed/slowed in software - specially at the time the record was made, you couldn’t get exact on the beat with a digital metronome.

One thing I’ve learned in my 25+ year career is that if you don't own your narrative and your work, someone else will claim it - especially in corporate America.

I have lost count of the brilliant engineers who were passed over for credit simply because someone less technically capable, but extremely popular, pulled the strings to steal the spotlight.

You don't necessarily need to be in the spotlight, but you do need to leave a paper trail. Claim your work and inventions both internally and externally. You don't need to be a 'LinkedIn thought leader' to do this, just submit talks to conferences and find peers at other companies who understand the difference between those who build and those who only talk about building.

The shift away from proprietary formats is long overdue.

As a composer and arranger working with different studios, I need multiple DAWs installed for compatibility. Every time I open my DAW or Gig Performer after a few days, it rescans all plugins. With around 800 installed, that happens across AU, VST, and VST3.

I hope Apple and Avid are holding meetings after this decision to help simplify the life of library/plugin makers. As an example AAX requires a complete mess to compile and test their plugins, and several AU plugins are just wrappers aroud VST that add another layer.

I really hope the next five years bring real standardization and smoother workflows.
