Did a bit of everything from development to management. Now writing Elixir. See https://claudio-ortolina.org

It was really fun! I tried to ramble as little as possible. My main point was that pi lets me build tools that are tightly integrated, and usable by me and the LLM. It helps me being more effective without relinquishing control.

A few weeks ago, I paired with @claudio-ortolina.org where he shared a bit about his AI workflow and how he uses pi, as he walked me through his app to manage his huge (and ever growing) record collection. Thanks again Claudio for pairing! www.elixirstreams.com/ai_files/pai... #ElixirLang

This next year is going to be extremely testing financially. Cost of living continues to grow & interest rates are crazy high. In the next 6 months I'm going to have to somehow earn a *lot* more just to continue to barely stay above the waterline. Not sure what to do. Suggestions on a postcard!

It is EXHAUSTING not only being made responsible for coming up with new kinds of assignments for our students; it's also tedious reading op-eds that suggest the core problem is a crisis in teaching. But, as Chris and I lay out here, this isn't a crisis in teaching; it's an attack on learning.

I've been researching and playing with Event Sourcing and related patterns for years now, but it's an expensive hobby. If anyone's interested in (paid) introductions to the patterns and ideas, or workshops on the matter, hit me up! I honestly believe understanding it can provide a lot of value.
