Twitter's Business Model In A Nutshell

"We built it, and that drew an audience, so we'll monetize the audience, even though it'll drive them away. The audience is big enough that we can probably make a little money before the whole thing falls apart, and if we're lucky, we might be able to sell the company to somebody who doesn't see what we're doing."

Are you a hacker who likes to make music? You know how you feel precise control when you write code you understand, but you have to filter your understanding of your music through oversimplified GUIs which sometimes have terrible UX? I made a series of videos which teaches you how to write music sequencing software in Node.js and CoffeeScript. When I do it, I experience a clarity which makes it easy for me to make more exciting sounds. You may have the same experience. Upcoming episodes will also teach you how to use simple probabilistic artificial intelligence to write code which writes its own music (which I've already done in Ruby).
