one of the values of Pair Programming is that you have to regularly explain things to your pair. This is an important part of learning – for the person doing the explaining. After all one of the best ways to learn something is to try to teach it. 🔗 Fragments: February 4

NotebookML overview and uses
This is a good overview. Other than the podcast generator…I still don’t get it enough to want to use it. Maybe I don’t realize how much I need flash cards and infographics? It feels like my kids would find a lot of use for school. A professor in a box? Maybe it would be good…

When you don’t know what you’re doing, do a lot of it
This a good, correct framing of the AI project failure stuff. No one really knows what will work and what they’re doing yet. As we learned in the digital transformation craze of the 2010’s, this means failure == learning. And learning is what you need to do a lot of. More so, this kind of…

One thing I’ve learned, writing books and then talking to people about those books and others, is that people read for wildly different reasons. I don’t only mean they read different books for different reasons – “I like mysteries, because they keep my brain occupied”; “I like fantasy novels, because they offer me a world…

Link: Fixed vs. Growth: The Two Basic Mindsets That Shape Our Lives
What it all comes down to is that a mindset is an interpretative process that tells us what is going on around us. In the fixed mindset, that process is scored by an internal monologue of constant judging and evaluation, using every piece of information as evidence either for or against such assessments as whether…
