Congrats, Ethan! An appropriately epic stage for an epic mind. Can’t wait to see what you create (and while you’re there, tell the customer service department to step up their game).

Comment on The Problem with “Like” and the Loss of Love by Evan Hamilton of Kicking Tuesday

Fantastic post. I work in tech and greatly appreciate all the powerful tools that have been created, yet at the end of the day I go to the record store, buy a CD, take it home and listen to it. No buttons, no multitasking, no social…just me and music.

As a musician, I appreciate the reach technology gives me. But it has to be secondary. I get joy from writing and playing a great song, even if it’s in my room, to myself. I embrace technology to try to spread this joy, but the tech will never be the joy.

Thanks for the great post, Ethan.

I think this is a powerful piece, Ethan, and it’s an issue I’ve been trying to wrap my head around for a bit.

Recently, I hadn’t discovered any music I loved for months. Then a band I work with finally released a new single, and BAM! It hit me just like you described. It was just me, the speakers, and the music.

Without music, my iPod would be useless. The value of my iPhone would decrease if I weren’t able to enjoy the art in it. We need a way to show that a faucet isn’t much good without water.

Apple and Spotify sure aren’t going to be the ones to do that.

Thanks again for the great post.

I particularly appreciated this article because of reference to how programming changes your thinking. I like how it changes your real-world logic. If you get to the “next level” of OOP programming, it has the potential to modify simple core thinking habits. So far, it’s done me good.

Thanks for the write-up.
