Some nights I’ll tell my wife I need to think and she will say cool, and then I’ll get in my car and drive to Scarborough alone and hang in a plaza and just observe, then I’ll drive from there to Mississauga and pull up to another plaza and do the same. Then I’ll drive to Hamilton and do the same. In a single night I drive across multiple cities for hours just looking at things and thinking. Then I’ll get home, everyone’s sleeping now, and I go to sleep too.

We just launched a new Strategic Partnership with Vietnam. 🇨🇦🇻🇳   That means more opportunity for our workers and businesses, and a stronger future for both our nations.

Daniel Debow (@ddebow) demos his new musical instrument in public for the first time. It has no speaker. Magnets vibrate a piece of wood to produce sound. Instead of making the user think in chords, the instrument makes the user think in finger shapes. He built it for people who believed they weren’t capable of being musical.

Daniel Debow (@ddebow), an entrepreneur and musician, shows his new instrument in public for the first time in this episode. It’s a campfire instrument designed so that anyone can learn to play songs in under an hour. His argument is that most people who try to learn music don’t quit because they lack talent. They quit because instruments like the guitar and piano make beginners practice for a long time before they can play a single song. He explains how his team built an alternative. Four finger shapes cover most pop songs, magnets vibrate a piece of tonewood instead of a speaker, and a metronome pulses on your lap so you can feel the beat. The second half is about Canada. @internetvin says he has felt out of place in Canada since he was a kid, and that he measures progress against Shenzhen, which went from a fishing village to one of the most advanced cities in the world in about 50 years. He argues that the current changes, like trading with more countries than the US, are basic systems design and not enough. Daniel says Canadians who feel this way can leave, as many have, complain, or build something, and he makes the case for building. Along the way they talk about how Geary Avenue in Toronto grew into a music scene out of cheap rent and a zoning loophole, how Daniel started Build Canada by publishing dozens of policy papers the way you’d publish content online, and how the Overton window shifts. The Other Stuff is hosted by @internetvin, filmmaker and entrepreneur and possibly the most curious man on Earth. Produced by New.

It's pencils down, people. Writing code by hand is no longer an economically viable skill for most programmers at most companies. But the future of making software has never been brighter. Don't you dare black pill this beautiful moment! piped.video/vDjW_dRyKXY?si=6Fsf…
