I begin a 4 month coding bootcamp in September. Does anyone have advice on how to make the most of the experience? First 8 weeks is Python-focused, before the cohort splits into software / data / quality / cloud engineering specialisms. My background was prev audio production / editorial. I'm excited to begin!

If you were going to organise a debate around the implications of chatGPT and AI on the future of business (for a mainstream audience), who would you want to represent the optimistic and pessimistic sides of the argument - to produce a productive conversation? Optimist - Sam Altman? Pessimist - Mo Gawdat?

Any podcast gang know about Spotify/Anchor video episodes? Can the audio-only podcast be a distinct edit from the video+audio? I'm asking, because a client is interested in doing video, but we'd want the audio-only version to remain a more finely edited listen - than video allows.

Often I listen to music and think 'I know how that's done.' James Holden's Contains Multitudes begins sparsely, but within a minute it rips its way beyond the further reaches of my comprehension. A wild psychedelic tour of a musical idea. 🙌🙌 https://open.spotify.com/track/2aMLvHpLA3tctPo13sCNY7?si=3abd4fa2b9064

What's the most social-native way of sharing music? I often want to share a track I'm enjoying, and end up using the YT link, as a streaming (subscription) - agnostic URL. But say on Twitter, this behaviour isn't encouraged with thumbnails not showing etc. So what's the best way? Could there be a better way?

There are tracks that aren't from a genre that should bang, but they bang anyway. This is one from Haitian American cellist Leyla McCalla. The bass line builds in the 2nd half of the track, to a point where... IT BANGS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPWPJGoxvGY

I've worked in production for 15 years, making radio, podcasts and editorial on audio software projects. But I'm wondering whether I need to re-skill, because I'm struggling to lead an adult life making audio and living in London. Has anyone pivoted careers in their 30s? You're all probably 19 anyway.😅

What does purpose mean to you? Is your work what gives you purpose? Or is purpose what you find beyond work?

I was working at a social audio start up last summer, and we were developing some cool ideas around how audio can provoke you to be creative/unlock your imagination. It was really exciting but the company panic-pivoted to e-commerce. Id love to explore some of these ideas further, but I no idea how to start. Thoughts?

I was going to share this to say Sault are giving away 5 albums for free! But now I see the download has expired! So this is now a cast to see what people think of it! There are some beautiful tracks on there, but I keep returning to 'Stronger'. Beautiful, simple production and composition! https://www.sault.global/

I'm an audio producer. 15 yrs experience, and recently returned to freelancing after a stint at a start up. I'm currently making podcasts for a Formula 1 racing team and doing some consulting for Red Bull. I have capacity for more work, so if I can be of use to anyone, DM me. 👍

Podcast recommendation for music nerds: Tape Notes: The art of making an album. I’ve been listening to the Caribou episode. Dan seems like a lovely guy, with an interesting approach to making music. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/tape-notes/id1249834293?i=1000480916304
