Cool! I think evidence-backed modeling is a really interesting idea. As an unsolicited suggestion, I wonder if there's a way to emphasize numbers that are backed by evidence (links and maybe commentary?). Right now from a visual and in

Oh hi Sean I didn't see that it was you. We worked at CDG at the same time! Thanks for the links and survey. I think something like "illustrative programming" is going to be really important. There's already some evidenc

Calling these things "computational essays" is a little like calling essays written on paper "ink essays". Computation is just the means. Human understanding is the goal. I prefer Bret Victor's "explorable expl
