With all of the pontetial uses of generative AI tools in entertainment, let’s narrow focus to one particular topic… dubbing. Do you enjoy watching dubbed or subtitled films? Some people don’t mind, I’m one of them, however that isn’t always the case. There are plenty of films and tv shows I’d love for friends and family to watch, but they aren’t interested if they’re dubbed or subbed. And you know what… that’s totally normal. We experience language from a cognitive, auditory and visual perspective. So if one of those three elements aren’t intact it can disrupt communication. But what if the visual element of dubbing had perfectly matched mouth movements to the new language? For example - a native German film looked and sounded like it was in English. And what if we didn’t replace localization houses and voice actors, but enhanced the quality of their work? If that sounds good to you, then we agree. That’s the Flawless artist centric approach.

A good example of how to *not* develop software. *5* back to back maintenance windows for Dark and Darker (PvP/PvE game), lasting 1 to 2 hours *each*, due to a poorly coded "bugfix". Grasping the primitives in your codebase and using them as intended can go a long way in not inducing needless drama.

I think this is a really important topic that we don't see much in Engineering recruiting. A great way to lead to #burnout, especially when you're already giving your all in a full-time dev job, is to take on side projects that aren't work-related. For some, programming is their whole life, and if that is who you are looking for in an employee, then this might be a great metric to use. Otherwise, it most definitely is not. #TechCareers #BurnoutPrevention #WorkLifeBalance #Programming #SoftwareDevelopment #TechCommunity #CareerAdvice #TechTalk #GitHub #EngineeringLeadership

What is the future of music software development? Recently, someone asked us why we don't do more audio programming tutorials of alternative approaches outside of the JUCE Framework... The thing is, he's right! There's room for a wider array of tutorials and discussion. One of the reasons JUCE has been a core focus is that it has one of the easiest "onboarding" experiences for developers - especially for those just getting started. Another is that it has a very good "out of the box" cross-platform workflow that's easy to teach. It's a very large, fully fledged solution that has abstractions for most conventional use cases. JUCE also solves some of the toughest challenges that still don't have direct open source alternatives. With that being said, I believe that as an industry we are moving towards a wider array of tools for audio software development, and that trend is heading towards more solutions. Here are a few that come to mind and discussions on each: 🖥 Cmajor - It's VERY easy to get into, has a lot of workflow advantages, and will export straight to a CLAP plug-in / raw C++ / JUCE project. It also solves many of the platform specific challenges that you get with C++, especially multi-threading. Uses JS / HTML / CSS for user interfaces - a more modern and faster solution (though there are still challenges to solve around this). https://lnkd.in/eafB-Cw8 🖥 CLAP w/ various open source tools - the CLAP open source plug-in format and its VST / AU wrappers has (almost!) open sourced what has been one of JUCE's biggest "walled gardens" - cross-platform packaging to various plug-in APIs with the click of a button. https://lnkd.in/edMFbdzH 🖥 Elementary - Uses JavaScript and is awesome! https://lnkd.in/enfsj46P 🖥 iPlug2 - A great solution but a little rough around the edges for beginners. I think it will win more appeal once they officially support CMake as a build system. https://lnkd.in/e_up9MRm 🖥 RNBO w/ Max MSP - A similar approach to Cmajor, but within the Max MSP ecosystem. https://lnkd.in/eVT4E8q9 I'd love to hear your thoughts on where we are going as an industry!

Hiring great software engineers isn't a numbers game. It's a soul-crushing, lonely fight. Finding the right talent feels impossible. The market is flooded. We desperately need a better way. We must stop the madness. My team and I were drowning. We were months behind schedule. Our last product launch failed. It was devastating. We lost key team members. Morale plummeted. We were close to giving up. The pressure was immense. Then, we changed our approach. We focused on cultural fit. We prioritized soft skills. Communication became key. We started interviewing differently. We made it personal. We asked about their passions. We listened to their stories. We looked for grit. We sought resilience. We found people who cared. They loved what they did. The results were incredible. Our team thrived. Our product launch soared. Success followed. * **Focus on values:** Align hiring with company culture. * **Prioritize soft skills:** Look beyond technical skills. * **Humanize the process:** Build personal connections. * **Invest in training:** Develop existing talent. * **Offer competitive compensation:** Attract top talent. The transformation was profound. It was life-changing. We finally built a high-performing team. Our products are amazing. Our customers are happy. We're proud of our work. Empathy is the key. It changes everything. The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary. - Vidal Sassoon What will you do to change your hiring process? #HealthTech #SoftwareEngineering #Hiring #CultureFit #TechTalent

This morning I've got a guest post on Google's Open Source Programs Office blog: what to do when your open source contribution stalls out. There are posts and posts about how to improve contributor experiences from the maintainer side, but I couldn't find much about how to push through a rough contribution process from the contributor side. Turns out you, as a contributor, actually have quite a lot of power here! I wrote down some of the strategies that have worked for me and my team as we contribute to the Git project; they apply for open source work, but also for any kind of decision stalling out. https://lnkd.in/g3eD6W4N

Working through logic from old code is a fun exercise. I enjoyed figuring out why we did what we did in the old game. Updating it to be more readable helps too! https://lnkd.in/gWkWHVkh https://lnkd.in/grNbNA7G
