If you use LLMs, this isn't a surprise.

> A prevailing concern is that generative AI encourages people to outsource their thinking to machines, which weakens understanding — known as "cognitive offloading." Through class, I realized this worry holds weight only if AI is treated like an omniscient oracle. When students are encouraged to experiment with and critique large language models (LLMs), AI becomes an on-demand study partner with benefits and drawbacks.

RE: @paulox@fosstodon.org

A++ content. I was in a call with @mkennedy@fosstodon.org and @pythonbynight@hachyderm.io this week, where this topic came up again.

We looked, and I thought Django's package size was 200M bigger than it actually is. Django is only 10.9 MB compressed, which is within ~1 MB of SQLAlchemy, which is kind of impressive to think about.

So running the Django ORM doesn't quite have the same mental tax as I have assumed all of these years.

I don't keep up with MySQL development, but I have had many conversations over the years about why so many people defend MySQL as being a good "Open Source" project... and yet I'm glad someone is writing about it. 🍿

At my three-year-olds request, we are building DUPLO towers and buildings. She is in her dragon costume and wanted to smash them with her tail.
