That's crazy. A dev meetup in Northampton UK has backlog for 10 months of talks. Although it is generalist.

I run the Python meetup in Thessaloniki, Greece, and it's exhausting trying to find speakers.I frequently skip months because nobody wants to present anything, and we aim to have two presentations on each meetup. I'm almost always the second presenter, and sometimes I'll do both presentations myself (or just skip that month's event).

It is exhausting, and people do always ask when the next one is, but my reply of "whenever you want to speak" doesn't seem to do much to get more speakers.

About thirty years too late, or two thousand years too late, depending on your viewpoint.

I find it ok once you heavily filter the content. But you need to put in a lot of effort.

Same here. I feel it's what every software owner thinks, but no one is willing to admit because of the backlash.

Conflicted about this study. On one hand, LLMs have been incredible for my personal learnings of new concepts.

On the other, I'm sceptical of that it'll have "strong benefits" at scale; I'd be more in favor if the wording was "some"/"moderate". I reckon self-selection plays a huge part, as mentioned in the "Limitations" section of the paper.

I'd also caution against attaching the tool to grading. That means students have to put more effort into the course, which increases the chances that they will use LLMs to save time rather than make the investment.

Mind if I ask what did you learn and how you're using it?

The reason I'm asking is that I repeatedly felt excitement only to realize down the line that the explanations didn't actually translate into practical skills. I'm not sure it's even an AI problem, it's a "doing versus reading" problem. Same as with reading a pop-science article and thinking to myself that I learned something about physics or medicine or mathematics.

Various concepts when I joined new teams in domains I've never worked in before. And system design. So very practical, and where stakes were high.

Sharing it as I didn't know about this RefCam. I don't watch football but found it quite interesting.

On it, thanks!
