Just renewed my library card, and apparently it’s been 17 years since I last used it. The staff did a double-take when she read the date 😅
I never learned it, even though all my classmates did (2000s) 😅
It would be a different beast if the school didn’t allow you access coursework on a personal machine without installing their bullshit, thats a huge issue.
That’s exactly how it works at many places. Students can only use a personal device if it’s enrolled in the school’s MDM, which grants them just as much control.
Anything except the 2nd to last one, which is, unfortunately, mandated by my employer’s internal code style guidelines. 🫠
TIL that pluralistic.net is blocked on Facebook, and any links to it are automatically removed as “farming engagement”
That’s not entirely true. Practice is important, but homework actually has a negative impact on learning: https://hachyderm.io/@Impossible_PhD/112969358305278574
This may sound like a mess to you. But it was remarkably enjoyable to work in. Gone were the concerns of code duplication. Gone were the concerns of consistency. Gone were the concerns of extensibility. Code was written to serve a use, to touch as little of the area around it as possible, and to be easily replaceable. Our code was decoupled, because coupling it was simply harder.
Incredible
