    Async programming is so cool. With just a few minutes of work you can have a program that hangs forever and is impossible to debug

    It took a while, but we finally developed the technology to remove both students and professors from the university system, leaving only the part that's really important: administration.

    Look, if everyone is worried about students cheating on essays for AI, instructors can just cheat right back. I asked OpenAI to give me an essay question & make a rubric for grading. I had GPT-3 actually write the essay. I then had the OpenAI grade the essay & give comments. ✅

    My objection to Rust, OCaml, Haskell, etc. is that I am a bad programmer who wants to write bad programs. Python is naturally suited to this task

    Proposal: PhD-level course in "how to get stuff to build and run". The final exam assigns you a random GitHub repo for a paper from no less than five years ago and asks you to get it running within 24 hours
