On the messiness of in-person teaching. We see this in Carpentries workshops, too, the surprising misconceptions, the interplay between instructor and learner to even get to the question, never mind the answer.

This is a lovely & thoughtful essay on the messiness of teaching and learning, an alchemy endangered by efficiency & automation. “What A.I. can’t do is feel the shape of silence after someone says something so honest we forget we’re here to learn.” [therumpus.net]

therumpus.netHuman Error Is the Point: On Teaching College During the Rise of AI - The RumpusMy syllabus is a mess of half-remembered intentions. I re-use icebreakers that I know don’t work. I forget to grade the first assignment until Week Four. I write emails that begin with “So sorry for the delay!” and I mean it. I use “This reminded me of something I once read—” as a stall tactic.

This feels relevant to HPC educators, also. We spend a lot of time on "it allows you to scale", and try to emphasize that it's a different *kind* of resource, too. It does have limitations, and kind of feels like it's in your way sometimes.

#HPC (as a developer) predominantly means trying to find strategies to get around limitations. You can't be root or completely control the environment. Your kernel or compiler is old. On a good day, it's still a few hours to get up the point of working to innovate on the thing you are interested in.
