Ask HN: Going from CTO to Developer?
4 by thatguyagain | 5 comments on Hacker News.
Let's say you work as a CTO at a failing startup, and you are tired of all the responsibilities, management, etc, and you just want to go back to being a productive developer and write code again. Will this be perceived as a stupid career move or will people understand? Is it a bad move? Asking for a friend.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: I built an interactive plotter art exhibit for SIGGRAPH

Show HN: I built an interactive plotter art exhibit for SIGGRAPH

I'm enthralled with using pen plotters to make generative art. Last August at SIGGRAPH, I built an interactive experience for others to see how code can be used to make visual art. The linked blog post is my trials and tribulations of linking a MIDI controller to one of these algorithms and sending its output to a plotter, so that people may witness the end-to-end experience.
