ink404··on Processing and P5 got newbies into coding
OPENRNDR is worth checking out for anyone interested in processing https://openrndr.org/

ink404··on Tim Cook: Sideloading is “not in the best interests of the user”

These examples sound like the reddit hive mind, which has been there since the early days
