Its weird that you inadvertently acknowledge the effect of slavery in this country on black americans by using Barack Obama as an example of affirmative action gone awry(?)
Those experiences of the descendants of slaves you mentioned are the reasons why race is so important when it comes to building wealth and prosperity in your community.
I think they were referring to the audio API itself when mentioning wanting dynamic parameters to implement when writing plugins. I may be wrong though!
Also, I just want to say in general, devs in music tech need a lot more love :( Fighting a dev over a design decision in a plugin is really commonplace online for some reason and its unfortunate being that most complaints can be easily solved with a solid foundation in sound and digital audio.
In this context by "fight you" I meant things like you find that even though you surface an automation API as expected, since they can't automate the things they want through your API they cause your GUI to run, inside a virtual environment in which the "pointer" is controlled by their software so as to click on gadgets at the appropriate time and then they whine that your plug-in (which is rendering a GUI) is too bloated and slow compared to the plug-ins that they're doing conventional automation for.
You’re getting some really bad responses to your comments, I definitely hear what you’re saying. I’m aspiring to be in tech to get out of homelessness but I wonder if I can even pull it off as a woman.
I began doing remote work while homeless. That was enormously helpful in getting past some of those hurdles, to some degree.
I run r/GigWorks and a zillion other little subreddits and I run a bunch of homeless websites. If you are not familiar, Street Life Solutions has a list of some of the most pertinent ones in the sidebar:
I"m actually getting a surprising amount of support in this discussion. Things used to be a lot rougher for me on HN. At least some of the worst and ugliest stuff tends to get fairly promptly flagged to death these days.
Although I'm only 55 years old, I'm post menopausal. I wish to hell and back that being too old to get knocked up was some miracle cure for this issue. It hasn't proven to be.
The average income indifference between artists and software developers, and how many of those who make up those communities are able to find any sense of financial stability, are vastly different, so even under your logic that a “hit” is a “hit” no matter the industry, is still really misinformed and I’m sure we are all out here just doing what we are doing for the “love of it”.
Speaking as a producer and developer, they are not the same things in any way and I love doing what I do deeply, thank you very much.
You're still off quite a ways in your analogy. I get paid to develop software that someone else owns and brands and makes all decisions for. For nothing more than money. It's nothing like my passion projects, which I do not get paid for at all. Most of the time. Maybe 1 in a 1000 that I will get paid for them in any meaningful way.
