AI assisted coding (and broader idea exploration) is 100% bringing me joy in this way.
I don't code for a living in any way, but I teach IT. And for years and years I've had little script ideas and tasks (e.g. music organization) that worked decently, but also life got in the way and I have that thing where I want it to work just right etc, and now that the pipeline is orders of magnitude shorter, man this stuff is FUN for me again.
- bartvk 9mo agoDo you hold up that code to the standards you teach? Genuine question.
- jrm4 9mo agoSo, for better or worse, it's an "IT for Professionals" class, and I'm not "teaching coding" per se. It's more a big picture view of everything tech related that I see as important to be aware of, as well as filling in some blanks. Most of my students get "straight up programming" in other classes. So I actually have always done "here is Bash scripting and what it's good for." And I definitely teach "the controversy," e.g. This AINT what you want for big and professional, but also, knowledge of bash (and similar) is a very useful "swiss army knife."
