I’m so proud of the talented teams who have all excelled themselves creating our latest product release.

The MPC Live 3 is a triumph, fusing next-level hardware with the most performative software system we’ve ever made.

From our initial design work, through development, test, manufacture, and all launch activities, we couldn’t have done better. It’s certainly been a rollercoaster!

Really looking forward to the music people will make with this thing.

Given all the hateful nonsense and nuanced complexity in the world right now, watching Bill Bailey play The Typewriter at the proms was a valuable moment of joy.

Refactoring. The most boring/slow part is getting code under unit test. From there it’s downhill all the way. The test harness enables agility.

So proud of the MPC team. We’ve been making something really special, and it’s wonderful to see our users enjoying it. akaipro.com/mpc3.

Returned home to find a new Korean translation of my most recent book, Becoming a Better Programmer. This translation looks fun!
