:) i date maybe 20 years before you and coded C in college using vi. It sure is a whole new world. I hope I get time to have them redo their projects *with* AI before the year is out because it's going to blow their little minds.

tx Neela! There is a lot of pundit-ing going on, it get's tiresome. It's better to actually *use* the thing. I'm surprised by how few of my kids really know how to use AI and it's fun once they get it.
I think if we all used it - even a bit - we'd be better informed. JFran is non-technical and also a lifetime teacher and she now regularly uses for for lesson plans, tutoring and learning spanish.
No, I didn't encourage her - to the contrary - because I become tech support grim 😬
This is great. Although nothing builds character like writing MergeSort in C on an exam paper.
Simultaneously makes me wish I was back in school and also very glad I had about a decade of writing code before the AI showed up.
