@dabeaz i agree with the point you're making, but there's also this guy https://youtu.be/yQ2dvtMuFqs?t=85s

@jmsdnns That's a lot of notes, but that's also a pretty good demo of "repeating yourself" which is a proven technique for playing a convincing blues solo as well.

@dabeaz i'd even say that if someone plays a wrong note in a solo, they should do it again. folks will think it's intentional 😅

dabeaz, 26 days ago

@jmsdnns Oh definitely. If you're really ambitious, you can try to build the whole rest of the solo around the bad note ;-).

@dabeaz pretty sure this is how blues scales were born! lol

@dabeaz @jmsdnns I'm sorry to be the guy pointing out that building software around repeating one of your bugs is likely not a good strategy for developers.

🫠😅😂

@elhult @jmsdnns I don't know, it seems to have worked pretty well for async. (drum hit).

@dabeaz @elhult i once heard idle processors repeatedly ask for the GIL

This is also a good rule of thumb for coding.
