Alexander Chatzizacharias @glycin.bsky.social · 01/07/2026How cool! You can use @samaaron.bsky.social Sonic Pi together with @intellijidea.com internal APIs to get adaptive music while you code. The music then reacts to how dangerous the method you're editing is. No danger? Cool, calm and collected music. A lot of danger? Pure chaos and stress! 0136
