Jade Rubick - Unusual tips to keep Slack from becoming a nightmare

Jade Rubick - Unusual tips to keep Slack from becoming a nightmare

Source: rubick.com

Use the tips to improve your org's use of Slack: answers to questions should take longer than the time to look it up, notifications should go to a few people, the more people in a room, the more structured it should be. Plus a few more.

Notes:

We use slack a lot at work. These are some helpful tips to reduce noise and increase communication. When there are four different ways to communicate (email, slack, sms, and posting to a forum) you have a lot of wasted time. Yes each way has a slightly different purpose and effect, but four are too many!

Handling Tasks in Asyncio Like a Pro

Source: jacobpadilla.com

I first go over the basics of an Asyncio task object and then talk about all of the various ways to handle them and the pros and cons of each.

Notes:

A great explanation of various ways to handle asynchrony in python. Basic stuff that we all should know about.

4 Simple Ways to Integrate AI into Your Class

4 Simple Ways to Integrate AI into Your Class

Source: hbsp.harvard.edu

Incorporating gen AI tools like ChatGPT into your course doesn’t have to disrupt your teaching methods or overhaul your syllabus. If you’re hesitant to try, here are four ways to seamlessly introduce AI and ensure your classes remain dynamic and relevant.

Notes:

Really good idea. Try this prompt from this article: ““I am having a bit of a hard time with concepts related to early-stage financing. Please test me on the following: pre-money valuation, post-money valuation, investment size, and ownership stakes. I’d like you to ask me three questions in succession. Wait for my answer on each, and then assess my answer. Do not give me the answer, even if I ask. Instead, if I am struggling or get the wrong answer, please give me a hint. Start now with the first question.”

An Intro to Textual - Creating Text User Interfaces with Python - Mouse Vs Python

Textual is a Python package used to create cross-platform Text User Interfaces (TUI). This may sound like you'll be creating a user interface with

Notes:

I’ve used this before, it’s very good. But there are limits, I mean, at a certain point it is weird to reproduce in the shell all the stuff that guis were invented for. Reminds me of the stone ages before guis and windows. We used to make quite elaborate text based user interfaces, but that was because there was no other choice!

Source: interviewing.io

As an experiment, we asked interviewees to cheat with ChatGPT during their interviews and share who got away with it.

Notes:

This is really interesting experiment conducted to detect cheating in interviewing. It also has a lot of thoughts about how to do a good technical interview. Worth reading.

I am not sure but I think some of this is over complicated. I mean I don't know that we need so many variations. In any event, it is much easier to follow because they pull out the bit that is needed.
