“We don’t do a very good job of going through what people need to know to do our job.” @edasque making a powerful case for craftsmanship in software engineering education. #monktoberfest
@edasque Interesting estimate. Eric says to expect 1.5 year investment in a college grad to get to be an industry-ready software engineer. I find that encouraging, especially with encouragement toward co-ops early and often.
@edasque By month 4 their making a big impact on projects as well as the culture of any project. So those feeling discouraged by the longer timeline, the value of fresh eyes and energy shows up much earlier.

I've been in ChatGPT 4o and Claude Sonet 3.5 on a daily basis a month. Here's what I've noticed about which one I pull up for which problem 🧵
For context: my top 3 topics are product management strategy, Obsidian PKM (knowledge management), and whatever random philosophy piques my interest. There's plenty of random stuff in there too.
In ChatGPT, I renamed my most revisited topics so I maintain that context between the random other thoughts.
And that's the first main contrast: Claude chats can't be renamed and Projects are not accessible on iOS and 3 clicks away in the browser ☹️
Some other newborn advice I keep getting is to "sleep in shifts."
With my partner breastfeeding, that sounds to me like I sleep while she does everything and that’s crap advice.
Here's a list I've found to be supportive of her while she feeds (and you can use them too):
I keep her hydrated. She's slugging down a 26oz tumbler nearly every session and she can't go get the water and give it to herself. I refill it and hold it up every 20 seconds to see if she wants some. It works well. @YETICoolers wins for form factor here: yeti.com/en_US/drinkwar…
I keep her fed. She needs so much more food than she was eating during pregnacy to stay healthy. Every baby feeding, I get her at least one piece of fresh fruit + toast, a smoothie, or a granola bar (or all of the above). I'm often feeding her while she's managing the baby.
I have a terrible idea that I need to get out there in case somehow it’s not terrible.

There’s one way @JoeBiden can win the debates and capture the rural and undecided conservative voter on Tuesday: he needs to punch Trump in the face. On stage.
Hear me out.
I’ve been obsessively reading about George Lakoff’s research of political morality and cognitive frames.
I was about to try to climb this, but I dropped my wedding ring into a crack on the freaking mountain top.
It’s all jagged rock with big pockets. I bent and folded myself in between cracks trying to find it. No luck.
When my friend finishes her route, she and I excavate an entire hole of rocks, me kind of nervous about moving too much and getting caught in there. She found it right after I said we should give up.
"It’s often said that extroverts get their energy from people, while introverts are energized by solitude. The data show that’s a myth."
"In a pair of studies, people rated their energy hourly or weekly. ...
Extroverts felt more energized when they were being talkative and outgoing — but introverts did, too. Then, in an experiment, people were randomly assigned to act like extroverts or introverts in a group discussion. Acting extroverted energized even the introverts."
