Great point. Intuitively it makes sense that sending kids out when you expect a bunch of their peers to be there is different from sending them out into empty streets. Thinking a little more about why this intuition holds: it's because once upon a time you were sending them out into a community, where they would learn the tried and tested practices by example. Once the link of cultural transmission is severed, it's hard to bootstrap it back again, even if you had a bunch of families that wanted to try.

I do this and it is powerful, but I find that not being able to swipe/autocorrect my mobile typing in Termius makes things pretty painful.

This is all helpful but I felt like it skipped past a critical part - how do you "extract the range my manager is looking for"? Presumably your manager has to stick to the polite fiction that estimates are a bottoms-up process, so what questions do you find helpful to get a sense of the number your manager/leadership team had in mind?

Yes, and none of that matters when the money runs out and you can't convince investors that your business will bring them a worthwhile return in an environment that includes all of those outside forces.

Something I ran into during exercise 2 (and from watching the solution video[0] closely I see the author did as well):

There were four consecutive changed lines in my original commit. When I split it, I selected the deletion and addition for the first two lines. In the resulting newly created commit, those two lines had been moved to below the other two lines, so the order was now 3 -> 4 -> 1 -> 2, with the second commit moving 3 and 4 back to their original places. I didn't figure out a clean way to fix this - when I edited the commit which changed lines 1 and 2 to put them back at the top, it made a conflict with the second commit which I had to repair.

Anybody know what I should have done differently to split the commit and keep the edited lines in their original places?

This really feels like a glimpse at where video games are going, I felt like I could really enter into the character's role because what I said actually affected the dialog.

That said, I ran into the same issue someone else mentioned where I really struggled to get my phone to accept single words without a sentence context, the color reading challenge was incredibly frustrating.

True but I think there's still an element of falsifiability to a teacher's evaluation of an essay that doesn't exist in an oral exam or interactive discussion. An essay is an artifact and if a teacher is giving student A worse grades than student B, a third party can look at that artifact to see whether it's remotely reasonable. A 1:1 discussion or an oral defense is much more subjective.

Not saying this is a fatal flaw, but there is a bit of a tradeoff there.
