I Need You to Create with Code
summary
Argues that code can do more than corporate features and shows concrete creative uses: generative art (Tyler Hobbs’ Fidenza, Matt DesLauriers’ work), an HTML detail tag poem (Everest Pinkerton’s Soft Corrupter), a coronavirus tracker built with email-safe tables, Robin Sloan’s tiny photo app with four users (Boop Snoop), a Lunar New Year site teaching niangao, a script used around the Texas abortion law, and a union site built with next.js and React. Recommends p5.js and Coding Train/Processing as practical on‑ramps.
