As I go slowly my way through the kernel syllabus, I find gems like this one: "The practice of software begins to resemble closely the practice of memoria and, specifically, the memory theatres of Camillo, which constitute memory as a public space; a kind of virtual architecture for an incomplete image of the world. Software begins to look like the closest medium to memory itself we have produced ." kernel.community/en/learn/module-3/remember/#memory-only-exists-when-distributed

What do you think? How do do you personally perceive Software as Memory?

Comparing software to memory looks like a category error to me. Software is a medium, not a function. Like other media, software has become one of the substrates of our collective memory as a society.

I haven't seen this posted yet. I was at GitHub Universe last week and I saw a live demo of "Hey GitHub", a voice controlled interface that uses Copilot to author code. The first intention of this product is to help people with disabilities, including those suffering from Repetitive Stress Injuries:

I'm building a VR coding app. We looked at voice to text input using Codex about a year ago. I think it's a very exciting Future of Code concept:

Hey there John, Primitive looks great and I’m excited to try out the new changes. If you’re open to a conversation, I’d love to chat with ya about some of the implementation details in this software. I’ve been working on a similar home-experiment for macOS, and there are a ton of ideas I’d like share! Let me know if you have time to chat. Cheers, and thanks for sharing!
