Kyle Gawley shares a screenshot asking for feedback on a talking-head video layout, showing him using a coding assistant (GPT-6 Astra, Extra High) to plan a staged recreation of the classic Roland TB-303 synthesizer with the JUCE framework — oscillator, filters and envelope only, no sequencer. The assistant web-searches JUCE docs, detects the Apple Silicon Mac and CMake setup, targets a native VST3 build for Ableton, and sets build-and-listen checkpoints at each stage while distinguishing a usable 303-style synth from accurate hardware emulation.
