Staff-level Software Engineer with 12+ years of experience across fintech, energy, e-commerce, and enterprise software. Skilled in building scalable, reliable systems and driving projects from design to production. Strong focus on execution, ownership, and mentoring engineers.
Looking for a staff backend/full stack role where I can build impactful systems and elevate developer experience.
To be fair that's not the same at all. This one looks like the message boxes that appear during gameplay, while the submission is only about the letters you can send/receive in the game.
Some sampling might be lazy, but there's plenty of impressive producers which take the art to the next level. Some suggestions you can sample: DJ Shadow, J Dilla, Madlib, The Avalanches, Statik Selektah. And as a bonus, an artist definitely not hip hop which makes beautiful use of sampling is Jens Lekman.
I will be charitable even though you called rap "lowest common denominator" poetry.
If you are genuinely interested, I suggest you look into the history of hip hop. IMO, the point of early hip hop was not to create sophisticated music, but to connect people by using sounds they were already familiar with. More important was the message and vocal delivery of the MC.
I use the Roland 505ii looper, and do massive 'samples' - whole verses etc, great for song analysis, practice etc. If I could incorporate something into a hit song, I'd happily pay the royalties to the 'samplee'. I rather suspect the early days of sampling/ hip hop etc, it was the "how do we get paid...they're ripping us off" panic that created issues. Now, the money-flow has been standardised, and sped up, there are considerably less problems.
Oh, my favourite example of extreme sampling - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJYeSpyRpRA&list=PLXa6-G1Tk7...
The editor behaves weirdly when I try to add comments.
It's hard to explain, but you can reproduce like this:
1. Write several lines, for example:
select i.*, s.*
from interviews i
join suspects s
on s.id = i.suspect_id
2. Try to comment each line on its own by typing -- in front of each line.
-- select i.*, s.*
from interviews i
join suspects s
on s.id = i.suspect_id
-- select i.*, s.*
-- from interviews i
join suspects s
on s.id = i.suspect_id
3. As soon as you do it for "from interviews i", that line will move itself to the previous line, and the syntax highlighting will be broken
Nice! On a tangent, I thought this sort of "animated star field" effect had gone out of fashion 5 years ago - I rarely come across a website using it nowadays.
