About a month ago I released an app I’d been working on for awhile, Volca Sampler. If you visit the app you might be a bit confused, but among the niche group of folks who own a KORG volca sample hardware sample synthesizer, this app has been very well-received. It embeds KORG’s open-source C library for transferring audio data to the volca sample, making it much easier to load one’s own sounds onto the device.

It’s 11:43pm on a Monday night. My 6-week-old son is asleep in my office so my wife can get some uninterrupted rest for the first half of the night. He’s finally asleep now, and I probably should be also after a full day of work. But I’m not done for the day. Even though I’m a software engineer by trade, I’m also a computer programmer by hobby and passion. So I do what I’ve been doing for well over a decade now: I boot up my computer to write some code.

I’ve had a sneaking suspicion for a whle that OKRs - as in Objectives and Key Results - are in fact clever device deployed by Google 1 to throw startups off track. The appeal of OKRs is in their perceived simplicity: any problem large, or small, organizational or technical, made solvable by careful setting of O’s and KR’s.2 It never plays out as promised: a few cycles deep into OKRs will leave startups wondering why they’re so dumb they can’t implement what seems like a pretty simple system.

Originally published July 2015 In 2002, Professor Enrico Zaninotto, Dean of Economics at the University of Trento, gave a keynote at the Extreme Programming conference. It was the clearest technical talk I have ever seen, even though it was delivered by a non-programmer in an unfamiliar language. What set the talk apart was the clarity and depth of the thought behind it.

This is a little negative-nancy-ish, so if you aren’t feeling that right now — just close this tab 😜. It struck me recently how this list of plugins I saw in the 2023 Annual WordPress…
