Hi! I'm Alan. I've had the pleasure of working on the web for 20yrs and want to share that joy with everyone. The options for getting started kinda suck though.

So, I'm making a free, open-source site builder called Neopoligen. It's designed to make building your own site free and easy w/ no programming experience required.

You can learn more about it and follow along here if you're interested: https://www.neopoligen.com/

I’m 42-years-old, and I’m always looking out for new music. And not just new music – forgotten music. One of my hobbies is trawling YouTube for songs with 0 views.

But I’m an outlier. For most people, discovery of new music peaks at adolescence. And when you hit your 30s, musical taste calcifies.

There’s lots of data to back this up.

I notice this doesn’t just happen with music but with movies as well. Lots of older men don’t want to watch new movie franchises. They want to return to the old “nostalgia” well again and again.

Personally, I find such malaise depressing. I never want to stop growing as a human being, experiencing new things.

CHART: When was the best decade for music? Your answer probably depends on how old you are
CHART: On average, peoples' music taste evolved quickly through age 25, before reaching "maturity" in the mid-30s
CHART: average number of artists in listening rotation by age group

@atomicpoet in case you aren't already familiar with it, Every Noise at Once is a project someone did while at spotify categorizing music. It's a fun place to explore

Who are the people who constantly need AI to make summaries of emails and then go and generate a thousand-word email because a single sentence “isn’t professional”

I got to introduce a friend to using the "ISO 8601" date/time format for file naming so their podcast files stay sorted.

For dates, the format is

YYYY-MM-DD

Using that as the first thing in the file name you get things like:

2024-03-02 Some file.txt
2024-03-13 Another file.txt
2024-04-19 And another.txt
2024-05-09 And again.txt

It's a nice quality of life hack for when sorting by date is more important than sorting by title
