During my data science program, Git was taught as part of software engineering principles in week two. I still couldn't do basic Python, and had not figured out how to sum a column in a DataFrame. teapawt.net/0xglitchbyte/status/17…

Learning Git through a project makes sense Id like to see more project based learning in Uni, letting students explore possibilities I dont see a lecture on something like Git practical, though It wont stick

The prof whizzed around advanced git concepts like branching and merge conflicts on the command line. I left this half day (on a Saturday) section feeling absolutely hopeless, dejected and confused.

Git is very important. But it's more important for students to master the basics before git.

Spotify AI is like "I bet you've never heard this Three Days Grace song" AI, I listened to Three Days Grace when you were just a floppy disc

This tweet might not age well... but I do not buy into the concept that "prompt engineer" is a role that companies will hire for. Generative AI's super power is combining an individual's domain knowledge and industry expertise with it's superhuman computational abilities.

Hiring a generalist "prompt engineer" feels silly as a prompt engineer would miss this domain knowledge or industry expertise to know when Generative AI is making a mistake.

Prompt engineering is a skillset and mindset that we should all learn to become more efficient at our jobs. But prompt engineering in isolation doesn't sound like it will be an effective hiring strategy.

Bing AI Chat >> Chat GPT. Yeah it's annoying to have to use Edge. But the benefits are miles better than Chat GPT

Did we know how easy we had it doing time-series analyses in the 2010s?

It's more of a "Dev/Prod" environment
