The question of "should I cooperate" shows up everywhere, from biology to geopolitics.

In my latest PerThirtySix piece, we explore the Prisoner’s Dilemma, starting from the basics and building up to population-level dynamics through interactive simulations!

It's a great time to learn creative coding!

We’re all surrounded by utilitarian software so it can feel refreshing to just build something for creativity’s sake.

Here's a free p5js resource I put together that starts from the basics:

I made a chrome extension that replaces AI-related words with egg-related words and it's made LinkedIn actually enjoyable

this made my day, and has me in the mood to do more creative coding when I get the chance

I sometimes feel like I'm picking between creativity and utility in #dataviz, but that's a false dichotomy

With some thoughtfulness in design and engineering, we can have the best of both worlds
