I enjoyed reading this. I knew of quartz composer but I never did anything with it. I love visual tools and I think they are underutilized today. I cut my teeth in ~2005 with Houdini[0] and Fusion[1] which are both heavily graph / node based (and procedural). Most recently I have been rekindling my love for visual programming and flow based programming and plan to spend some time in January and February doing more research around flow based programming for infrastructure management. I plan to get this sort of info published on my website which I have neglected for half a decade or more but if you are interested in visual programming you might enjoy checking these out: Unit from Samuel Timbó: https://github.com/samuelmtimbo/unit https://ioun.it/ A video of me exploring what I figured out about it (while also learning to stream) https://www

Fun fact, a lot of it is open source, just not where you would expect it. During the creation of Clara.io I created over 200 PRs to Three.js: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3A... Open sourcing it wholesale at this point is a challenge because parts of the tech stack became parts of Threekit.com. Threekit.com is VC funded and an ongoing business operation. I do what I can with open source still, see: https://github.com/bhouston/behave-graph https://github.com/threeify/threeify

this year I learned astrophotography and then I learned deck building/carpentry as I needed a deck to raise the telescoped above the fence line. https://www.astrobin.com/users/bhouston/ if you automate you astrophotography rigs via things like ASIAIR or Nina you can control it all remotely from inside. Also wrote a behavior graph library like Unreal Engines blueprints, intended to be used by say no code Threejs projects, and it works well: https://github.com/bhouston/behave-graph
