Make sure you check the name - there is a website called bandmatch already, which is a somewhat established platform (granted, it's I think only for DACH meaning: Switzerland (primarily), Austria, Germany, and is a traditional blackboard style site, but naming conflicts are never fun). Unless your affiliated with them of course: https://www.bandmatch.ch

Depending on your workflow, you get used to it rather quickly imo. I recently rewrote a Python script which extracted metadata from an XML file and using that metadata to stitch together fulltext from OCR (OCR where single pages,and the metadata held references to page numbers - whoever programmed that needs to be slapped). So I worked fully in the Pharo environment, file browser to look and check, "code browser" to code and change etc. The glory really was, the extraction took quite some time (a few hours, millions of files, python wasn't really faster), but after that, I had objects in the environment and code changes reflected, I saw a wrong extraction, I could correct and run it over this single text, which with the Py script was much more inconvenient. Yes, you could code it differently to do that, but with Pharo my code didn't need to account for that. Also "oh, I need to create a new metadate like year+month", code it and its there for every text, and if I decide to have it generated on the fly, I'm done if I need it as instance variable, I run this (and only this) method for all texts, which takes a second. And then into Elasticsearch for our other pipeline afterwards ;-) Plus, close it (and save) and you when you reopen, you are exactly where you were, opened windows and all

> And I can access the Pharo GUI via the web VNC just from my browser with full access to the IDE and dev env.

That's a thing I read about elsewhere, and it sounds like it has or had an integrated VNC Server - is that true (meaning run it heqdless from cli via ssh and connect to it through that), or do you need an X and leave Pharo "opened"? Any pointers appreciated ;-)

As my second job is being a composer for film and TV (no, not playing in the big league), I see a ton of composers producing content on "how to make money" etc.

What always crosses my mind with most of these people is - are you making money from composing music, or is your income actually giving "advice" to people? I get the diversifying of income streams etc of course.

But theres a point - invisible to the viewer - where the person is not "doing some videos on the side to help people" anymore, but transitioned to being an "educator" instead of being a composer.

Is your job actually being a working composer, or are you an online-course person? There is a course by a composer which is $4000-$7000.

If you want to make money, portray yourself as the authority and sell the advice and wisdom of your underappreciated genius. The online courses are the modern 8-page ebooks.

But really - its almost impossible to see if the person is just doing videos or courses to help others or to pad their income vs becoming a fulltime content creator and doing the very thing they create content about as a hobby so to speak.
