I love this soundtrack. It fits the demo perfectly but it's also just a pleasure to listen to separately. Thanks for offering it for download. My Winamp is pumping!

I believe that some things should not be made as simple as possible, because when a task is too simple, people do it without thinking. Developing software is complex and error-prone, so people need to be thinking when doing it. And yeah, I realize that these opinions are controversial to some.

God this is such a refreshing opinion to see 18 years later when half the jobs available to me to require "co-pilot" experience.

I don't agree with the argument, but also I know syntax highlighting wasn't as good as it is now. But also I'm a javascript dev using vim... so that might *colour* my opinion.

I like syntax highlight as a way to make code look beautiful. I'm also into zines lately and I'm feeling the importance of expression in things. It adds a lot of information into what is being communicated.
