This is my self promotional alt, to share my programming projects and some stuff I like that are uncontroversial.
https://newdawnowl.itch.io/microtonal-grid : Microtonal music grid, a 16 step sequencer. Give it a go!
I am looking for work, if you feel what I am sharing is interesting or feel I could improve your workplace.
have a vision and a project that you want to actually control the design of. Have a goal about being able to re-use and re-learn from your project when you look at the source of again, so that things are as well structured and as re-usable as possible. Make your goal to be a better programmer and to fully understand your code.
There is a reason why we have prioritisation and bug triages.
I am working on a project with an associate and one of the first things I did was install a kanban board to keep track of issues and features, and to have a place where we can share information on the state of the project and build.
This way, we can be honest and communicate about the compromises between time until a feature is ready to use, and not worrying about things that they are not concerned about. If a feature is going to make things much better for their business, and not break things that are already there, and the current bugs only occur in unlikely circumstances? Ship time.
All software has bugs. We need to test the software to be aware of the bugs that exist and take appropriate action.
The alternative is Duke Nukem Forever and Time
Of course, this is an engineering tradeoff. You can also ship broken code that makes things worse. The engineering aspect is that you make the correct tradeoff between the reality of what can happen in reality with what you are trying to achieve in theory.
I’m glad it works. I’m sure it’s fulfilling to have sorted it out by yourself, but it’s always useful to know what you have in your toolbelt before making your own tools.
Are you going to stay with your own creation and continue fill yourself with deserved pride or will you switch to the generic brand and stay consistent with existing solutions?
I don’t want to rain on your parade, and I congratulate your achievement…
There is a process table widget built into KDE :
Did you already know about this? If you did, what did you dislike about it?
I made a basic 16 step sequencer using many of the ideas shown there, using pure JS. You can check out the source code in gitlab to see how they can be implemented.
It also allows you to go beyond the 12 note western scale, though it doesn’t do any ratio tunings.

That interview sounds interesting. I took a few hours to implement Conway’s Game of Life on my microtonal grid project, but doing it over SQL seems challenging at first.
But then again, a table is basically a grid, so … interesting.
If you’re still hiring, I’d love to give it a try :D
