It wasn't until I'd *taught* algorithms a few times that I finally understood why sorting is in the CS curriculum. Unfortunately, most curricula don't explain this!
It is NOT because sorting is an important algorithm to learn to implement...

Today I learned that the way to turn an array of strings into a single string separated by spaces in Python is " ".join(your_array) - and my friends, I get that you think its fun to have one way to do it, but that is an *insane* way to do it.

It took me less than 25 minutes to set up a fake anonymous Apple ID using a VPN and disposable email, attach a masked debit card to it (with the address being Twitter's HQ), and get a verified account for a prominent figure. Just think what a nation-state or bad actor could do...

I don’t do this very often.
But this type of behavior brings disgrace to our industry.
And I won’t stand for it.
If you follow me, I would like to politely request that you block @techleadhd on *all* platforms without responding.

I see so many tweets about agile, epics, scrums, story points, etc. and none of it matters. We didn’t use any of that to ship the best products years ago at Apple.

.@NYCMayor, what excuse could you have for making this change other than that you are surprised at how many students are in quarantine right now. You looking bad because of all the closures does not give you the right to make our schools even less safe. 1/
"Unvaccinated students will not have to quarantine if they had close contact with a student who tested positive — if they were masked and three feet apart." In a room of 20-34 students, w/ guestionable ventilation, this is reckless & inhumane. Also, lunch!

Thread highlights
1. "The basis for an open society is vaccinations."
2. "The best predictor of vaccine acceptance is trust in authorities' management of the pandemic."
3. "Polarization was avoided bc the Danish opposition prioritized epidemic control over electoral gains."
Today, Denmark lifted all restrictions & COVID-19 is no longer deemed a "societal threat".
I led the country's largest behavioral covid-project (@HopeProject_dk) & advised the Danish gov.
Here are my thoughts on how DK got here, what can be learned & what lies ahead.

people who haven't built software mostly rely on analogies that come from physical manufacturing to understand software, software people go along with those and getting out of that hole is really hard because of expectation mismatch
