This is only tangentally related to the article, which is interesting in its own right, if a bit over my head presently. I noticed that they were using tools like git and make to manage distribution of the lab assignment and submission of the lab work. This is cool.
When I was in college, lab assignments were typically printed or photocopied sheafs of paper, and handed out. To submit one's lab work one printed out the results, and handed them in, or called the instructor over to watch one's demo, etc. I would have loved to have been able to use existing tools I already knew how to use to manage all that automatically.

Even better for students that don't have a lot of coding experience. Rather than slogging through some terrible Blackboard-esque environment that they'll never see again to submit assignments, they're actually becoming comfortable using versioning and development tools that are the current industry standard. Very useful for everyone.
