Future of Coding

hello again it's me. 
i gave a talk last week on why i am a machine :robot_face:

Thank you for sharing this lovely provocation with us who could not attend SPLASH! I've been deep in the cybernetics -- constructivism archives, but really there are no young people there and I'm sad about it.

I want to take more of an oblique tack to this question about liveness, nondeterminism, and excessive rumination. My friends have written a paper about narrative sandbox games as `inviting repair', i.e. as casual livecoding platforms.

Still feeling my way through Dave Ackley's embedded talk, but <https://youtu.be/bV12HhAYIik?si=Qad0-yg1vJMDW0YC&amp;t=1973|32:53> gave me the vibe that Sedgwick's reparative reading will speak to what you're getting at.

I'd put it differently: you enlarged the perimeter of the definition of "machine" far enough to cover organisms like yourself.
