In the spirit of Learning in Public, I wanted an excuse to explore (1) click for creating command line interfaces, (2) Cookiecutter project templates, and (3) modern tools in the Python packaging ecosystem. If you’re primarily an R developer like me, I recently wrote about resources for getting better at Python for R users.

The x-odus continues and there is a wave of researchers moving from X to another walled-garden called Bluesky. This is good and bad.

Large Language Models (LLMs) can help explain programming error messages and these explanations tend to improve as the models they are based on include more source code. However, it is unknown to what extent novice programmers are able to effectively utilise these automatically generated explanations to debug their programs, with tools like GitHub CoPilot and ChatGPT. Join us to discuss a paper on this by Eddie Antonio Santos and Brett Becker.
I initially started writing this blog on Tuesday (we’ll certainly remember, remember, this 5 th of November). Currently living in America (although not for much longer – I’m one of the lucky ones) and a TV scholar, I watched the television advertising campaign for the presidential race with equal parts fascination and horror.
