Entrepreneurial transformation: Hong Jong-goo, from the group Noise… “If AI had existed back then, I would have definitely used it.”

Translated from Korean Read in Korean

Hong Joon-guh, former leader of 1990s popular group Noise, has transformed into an entrepreneur with the launch of Amuchart, an AI music platform. He believes AI-generated music will dominate the market with its speed and volume. Amuchart allows users to register and listen to AI-created music, with rankings based on metrics beyond just play counts.

The platform plans to introduce music generation and remastering features, as well as a community for creators and listeners to interact. Hong also plans to produce music using AI technology, including a project with singers Lee Jung-bong and Chun Cho-ah.

Rewrite or refactor? How I decide

Rewrites are tempting because old code is annoying. You open a file, wince, and a quiet voice says "I'd do this so much better from scratch." Sometimes that voice is right. Often it isn't.

  • Rewrites are seductive but risky, often stalling at the last 20%.
  • Refactor recommended when code works, issues concentrated, and small steps possible.
  • Rewrite suggested when core design blocks new features or improvement is significant.
