@backpackandsnorkel I think it did.I took a bunch of pictures as well, back in the day when I was carrying 20-30 rolls of side film. I think the rocks got half a roll and I know they’re a real challenge for contrast.

@backpackandsnorkel I’m not a pro either, I just loved what slide film was capable of vs print at the time. In a year of travel I probably went through 100+ rolls of film

@emilybache Having fun with the racing car katas, as an adult.I'm helping my 17yr old daughter learn Java. We're learning TDD, but racing car katas are too far for now. She understands primitives and limited OO. Do you have any exercises for us to build on from there?

#Influence #Failures We trigger #Reactance when we leave the other person feeling (not thinking ;-), that our request is all about us and not their emotional need. If you want to avoid #Reactance take the time to listen to other people's needs. Really listen with the intent to understand. (Hint this is often an emotional response, better explaining your idea won't help) When have you triggered reactance, by putting your own needs first? What did you do to recover?

Top things that kill your Influence at work- Force people into a decision- Failure to overcome the Status Quo- Change is too far outside of my "zone of acceptance"- Risk of change- Not Listening to Others- Lack of Empathy- Failure to build rapport- Not supporting others when they need your help When you fail to #influence -- look to your own actions before grumbling about others

@ellane @EpiphanicSynchronicity @dhry I’ve been down this path recently. I had a 1st generation 13” M1 MBP. I had to upgrade because I ran out of SSD. With my new machine I went for 4TB, with the plan that this one lasts 5 years. RAM do you video work? Will you want to run open source local LLMs. 24GB is the bare minimum and also the max for Air. I went for 64GB

@dhry @ellane @EpiphanicSynchronicity Be careful, I was a Windows developer. Then I started using a Mac. The number of programs like Alfred, Keyboard Maestro etc that make my life easier won out.

@ellane @dhry @EpiphanicSynchronicity try the MacOS lifestyle. Borrow a computer for a few weeks. Pay for Setapp (many apps, one subscription). Then if a switch is a good idea you will know and buy a beefy machine. Only thing MacOS really fails at: gaming

@ellane @verita84_automata I don’t use vulgar language to a stranger. Perhaps you would return the favour.

@futurebird I think I saw a request from you earlier on the subject of ideas for teachers to talk about with respect to AI on a PD day?

@futurebird I've only a couple of minutes while my worksho attendees are on break. The ideas I saw covered alot of good stuff around attribution.I will take a different angle. (Some of my ideas will be harder with younget students which I think you work with).1. Assume all assignments in the future will completed with a LLM.2. Give assignments that require the use of a LLM3. Help them see these are random number generators4. Give them an assignment that gets them to critique ....

@futurebird The later. Almost none has the equipment, tooling, time, skill or volume of data to train an LLM from scratch. Models like Qwen3 which run locally require an internets worth of data to work the way they do.

No mentioned Agile, AI, Use Stories or anything else. Just kilometers and views.

@futurebird How do you feel about roasted eggplant? This is our primary way of eating it
