My first iOS app, Test Your Chess, came out on the App Store in February, 2010. It's still on the store. Apple just sent a message that it will be removed due to low downloads & a lack of updates in the last 3 years if I don't get an update approved in the next 3 months. So, I'll

I liked the new Advent of Code format this year. In past years I was just too busy in December to do 25 days so I rather have 12 day of good problems and shared experience. I also agree that with LLM tools the global leaderboard became pointless. I completed all problems but

I went to a concert tonight and I was amazed how many people were recording it on their phones. Mostly an older generation that perhaps hasn't discovered YouTube?

@rakyll False. The change only seems radical because the new tools offer a potentially significant productivity boost. (Perhaps 20% when the dust settles.) This is not new. We’ve seen similar boosts many times over the last eight decades. The shifts from binary to assembler to G1

Michael and I were just talking about this on the last episode of Talk Python. Visual Basic was an amazing tool. Anyone remember its clone, Real BASIC, for the Mac? I used it quite a bit to release an app as a teen. It's still around and known as Xojo. https://t.co/BKLScOS7KE

The computer AI in Age of Empires II was in two parts. The more difficult part was how the units marched, gathered resources, assembled into formations, and so forth. This was entirely done by the coders, bless their hearts. But there was also a simpler scrip which determined

I wrote an extensive blog post about the process of developing Computer Science from Scratch. Check it out if you're interested in a behind the scenes take on how a technical book is created. https://t.co/7ZuuQuanxT

In Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, @RobertCialdini lays out 7 levers of influence: reciprocity, liking, social proof, authority, scarcity, commitment, and unity. Join us as we discuss the 7 levers and examples of them from the book & our careers: https://t.co/trVRBrDdXn

A number of people are talking about implications of AI to schools. I spoke about some of my thoughts to a school board earlier, some highlights: 1. You will never be able to detect the use of AI in homework. Full stop. All "detectors" of AI imo don't really work, can be

It's time to remove laptops from classrooms. 24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images. The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

Not the type in the picture. Not a CSS reference or a how to use GIT guide. But a book that explains how an operating system works at a conceptual level? Sure. Books about concepts are still valuable to me. But of course I’m biased.

It was awesome to be back on Talk Python to Me to discuss https://t.co/VjTZkXbYZz Michael was the technical reviewer of the book. Checkout the livestream below. We also got into other interesting topics, like computer science education and our new majors @AlbrightCollege.

I've created an informational site about Computer Science from Scratch: Building Interpreters, Art, Emulators, and ML in Python. I think it's the most fun of the five programming books I've written. Check it out at: https://t.co/GzG4Z61uMJ It includes a free sample chapter.

Or on Amazon: https://t.co/dE829hpFVX

You can also get the book directly from the publisher, No Starch Press: https://t.co/Uw6mw6tmjD
