I guess i will have to teach them emacs... +- Very interesting talk, thank you! +- Great talk, thanks. +- Well done! +- Very important point to teach CS: immersion. Nothing better than emacs for that. +- Emacs is *great* for beginners (on CS): it makes them think programatically on their environment. + +## Notes + +- <https://www.mdpi.com/2673-6470/3/3/15> +- Data Science: intersection of math, comp sci, domain knowledge +- I like the idea you use this method to write every piece of your + code. It\'s so easy for me to just ask llm a piece of code, run it + and forget about it.

AFAIK, MIT style they + promote is full of workshops/handson classes with more + limited lectures. +- Q: Do some of your students nag you about using VSCode? I teach + simple programming at a vocational school and even after showing the + students vim, Emacs and nano and telling them that I prefer Emacs + and also showing them code inside code blocks in Org mode and using + Emacs in every class I teach, they still all chose VSCode as their + editor.
