IDEATE

Last week was quite something! Our first ever IDEATE Summit at ANU in Canberra.

It was wonderful to have people come together from ten different universities, as well as our industry partners, to talk about how we do better for our students.

Thank you to everyone who came and made it happen.
A summit isn't a conference, it's a conversation - and it couldn't have happened without you! #DEI #ComputerScience #tech #SoftwareEngineer

😴 Software engineer debates the existential crisis of—wait for it—missing em dashes. Because clearly, the punctuation apocalypse is upon us, and who needs scalable cloud applications when your prose lacks dramatic flair? 📉

bassi.liI Miss Using Em Dashes – Michael BassiliI really miss using em dashes in my writing. Ever since content creators started using ChatGPT to help (or supplement) their writing, em dashes have become indicators of AI use. Students are routinely caught with their pants down as professors flag an essay as AI-generated based on the presence of lists, positive-leaning prose, and em dashes.

by day, i am an ignoble #softwareengineer. i say "ignoble" because the company for which i work i suspect are doing questionable tactics in the field. why am i still there then? well, my kids need a roof over their head and gotta eat. that's the only reason. i would say the #ttrpg career being pursued as a side hustle will kick off, but that's probably not a reality. however, this doesn't mean i can't have a great time doing it if it doesn't!

TIL: ruby, a dynamically typed language, does benefit from static type checking

ruby type checking occurs in runtime; ruby 3 has .rbs files that contains the type information; it provides several degrees of type checking; you can use type profiler to detect type conflicts

ruby wants the benefits of static type checking and does so at some levels. it doesn't want declarations which, for ruby, are redundant, and instead abstracts them away
