@CiaraNi@mastodon.green @Pepijn@mastodon.online that's interesting, so would you say it's mostly the visual apsect of the tags that annoy you? My understanding from the first post was that it's a signal for a type of account you don't want to associate with 🤔. One could solve the visual apsect more easily client-side if the tags aren't peppered throughout the body 😵‍💫

Getting back into training. Yay! This past week I did a resilience session after not exercising consistently in a long time, and my normal work day ended up being one of the best I've had. My body felt relaxed and my mind sharp and focussed. I really feel we're made for intensity, or at least I enjoy it. Find what works for you, personally small group training with knowledgeable coaches that instruct has been life changing. I can be a workhorse if I'm told what to do. A dream employee. :rickhey:

@regehr@mastodon.social a friend and I gave a free python programming course once and followed it up with a paid course (with exceptions for anyone that couldn't afford it) The free course was attend by kids with a real curiousity, whereas in the paid course we found many students that took the course because their parents thought it was a good idea. Though I'm entirely for that in some instances, I did find that several of them didn't engage as much with the course work. I teach by asking reflective questions, explaining fundamentals and nudging, surely much to the frustration of the student, but ultimately those aha moments are more powerful when you come to them from your own side. Further to this, I found the fear of failure, not to "break" things, and not to be "wrong" prevented several of the kids from making steady progress. In the end I know of at least two of these students that pursued programming, with one actually studying CompSci :)

@mboelen@mastodon.nl partykeer. Ek het Feedly gebruik eens op 'n tyd. Maar deesdae is my feed te vol. Ek dink dis as gevolg van hoë volume websites soos ArsTechnica of The Register.
