.@the_compiler found himself teaching >100 first-year students automation with Python, in a flipped classroom. Cool! But how to grade all those exercises? With automation! #SwissPythonSummit

forgot to thread that this piece of joy is by @carinsurance—and unlike many other forms of coded bias it, was not neglect, it was a *conscious decision* the grammar isn’t great either but one problem at a time. xitter.cf/thebestsophist/status/…

YouTube has an obligation to make its services accessible. Allowing community-created captions was probably the LEAST amount of infrastructure they could have implemented to provide for captioning. It should be restored and expanded.
