One definition of luxury: Eating outside in late August without swarms of wasps feasting on you (and your food).

Find out what works, they say, and do more of that. Well, something that always „worked“ for me is my passion for music, audio, and sound art. So I‘m doubling down on that 🧵👇

After I published The Vibe Coder's Sound Check, I was approached by a founder building on Softr. The setup was clear: A no-code solution with vibe coded parts that needed human judgment.

Claude made a beautiful marketing page with live demo audioproxy.dev

audioproxy — audio variants, addressed by URL

Open-source on-the-fly audio transcoding proxy. Name a format in a signed URL and audioproxy renders the variant on demand, streams it, and caches it. If you know imgproxy, this is that, for audio.

audioproxy.dev

Calling all podcast hosters, social networks, CMSes - everybody who hosts audio content and needs to transcode, edit, distribute it in large quantities. I’ve created something that might be genuinely useful for you: docs.audioproxy.dev

audio_proxy

On-the-fly audio transcoding proxy: renders variants (transcodes, trimmed previews, waveform peaks) from signed URLs, streams them while they encode, and caches

What can we do about agent-generated technical prose? I enjoy agentic coding, but pull request descriptions, commit messages and code comments are so overloaded with meaningless slop they're downright useless. If I have to read the term "load bearing" just one more time...

Lately I have been thinking a lot about how the public debate about agentic coding resembles an age old philosophical debate. I wrote a short opinion piece about it, and how it starts to shape the decisions I make: www.railsreviews.com/articles/the...

Thoughts on how an old philosophical debate resurfaces in the agentic coding discussion. Is code really disposable or is it an essential artifact for thinking? How does the relationship we have to the...

To make ImPulsar4 more widely available and playable I've decided to mold it into an interactive web art piece that follows precisely the same mechanics as the installation, but allows you to interact with it. impulsar4.julianrubisch.at #SoundArt #ExperimentalMusic #SpatialAudio #GenerativeArt

New Hotwire Club challenge! I learned this technique from @domchristie.bsky.social , and it's a really slick one: Turn a controller into an asynchronously callable API via Promise Returning Outlets: hotwire.club/blog/2026-07...

Stimulus - Promise-Returning Outlet Methods

Use the deferred-promise pattern to expose an async ask() method on a Stimulus confirm dialog controller, callable via outlets from anywhere.

Confession: I haven’t tried Fable yet because I don’t think I have a task that necessitates it at the moment 🙈 Definitely some kind of saturation kicking in for me.

A while back I asked my Patreon subscribers to vote for what set of tools I should extract from the > 50 challenges we've been solving over the last years. Today I can proudly ship the first one: an Optimistic Form Builder, check it out: github.com/TheHotwireCl...

You know, in the arts and music world there’s a lot of debate going on these days regarding how AI created content devalues the „real thing“. But here’s the thing: at least in the case of music, art has devalued itself a long time ago already.

ImPulsar4 is a quadraphonic piece or installation featuring autonomous agents moving sounds through space and reacting to each other's sonic qualities. the installation will premiere at The Factory Salzburg in July 2026 #SoundArt #ExperimentalMusic #SpatialAudio #GenerativeArt #SoundInstallation

Non-technical founders building with AI keep skipping the same guardrails. Not because they're careless. Because the AI never tells you the guardrail exists. 🧵

I've started putting some music on @subvert.fm : www.subvert.fm/programmverd... GO AND BUY IT IN MASSES! 🙈

Arecibo by programmverdichter - Subvert

In three movements, this cycle explores the substance of the Arecibo message, broadcast to a nearby star cluster in 1974. Being derived from just two sonic renditions of said communication attempt, it...
