Attempted to vibe code my course's module 2 on fisheries collapse (github.com/espm-157/fis...) in Claude Sonnet 4 via VSCode-copilot: I try not to write any code, but provide feedback and directions as it gets things wrong (or stuck). Struck by just how much this feels like working with students

I like this idea for sharing with others and taking the time to define your LLM usage for yourself. Like a README for what you create. Something like this could work at an organizational level too.

Julia’s zines are amazing! A great opportunity to get one if you haven’t yet, or more if you have some already. Currently re-reading “Hell Yes! CSS!” “Help! I have a manager!” is really nice too.

I'm writing up a brief history of the tidyverse? What do you want to know about it? #rstats

New to @bsky.app? We’ve got some etiquette just for you! Turn on the little feature that reminds you to post alt text with your images. Alt text allows blind and partially sighted people to understand what's in your images using screen readers. Without alt text, it just says "image".

Here’s one of the things I’ve got, and it’s the only thing right now: we are going to have to take of each other, because we can’t count on anyone else to do so.

Kids are losing 'huge chunks' of their childhood to long COVID. Too many are being told it's 'all in their head.'

In my newsletter, I wrote about The Spoonbill Club--a series of birding trips that I started for Bay Area folks with long-COVID and related energy-limiting illnesses. We've done 2 small pilots that I think worked well. Here's more on the intention & planning: buttondown.email/edyong209/ar...

you know how we like to jump on journos for not asking hardball followup questions often enough? i think when Raichik says “we do it in person or no interview” you can ask back some of those right there. “are you trying to get me onto a fork where i either give you Content or you cry defamation?”
