Best case scenario would be to forbid the models to generate such bs. Not sure how we can enforce that quickly.

It's been absolutely nerve wracking to see many young women around my age and younger be targeted by this online. Deepfake/porn has been an fastly growing issue online and it's definitely frightening as it's hard for us to understand what are the tools at hand to defend ourselves against this.

The way forward is to invest in true open-source software and infrastructure.

Science Shouldn’t Rely on Corporate Software (opinion)
We need to treat the software undergirding scientific research as a public good—and make investments accordingly.

On a more touching note, a student crocheted this adorable keyring for me last night, to thank me for the semester. I had to fight against the tears. It even has a little scarf!!! Too cute.

Anyways, I was really happy to give this class. Maybe I'll give it again next year. For now I'm happy the semester is over so that I can finally enjoy my Sundays again. But I'm also happy I managed to do it on top of my already full time job.

Trusting the students is also key. When working on practice sets, the students would naturally exchange together, ask questions, read documentation. Most of them had written notes of code, just like many of us had in our first years of coding!

Exercises ranged from reading and explaining code, to predicting outputs, explaining core concepts (vocabulary is key!), and of course write short code.
I even managed to add a bit of Christmassy theme to the final, which was a big win for me since I can't complete AOC properly.

But how do we grade the students now? There's been quite enough conversations around here, all which have helped me think about evaluation thoroughly. I know @mariaa.bsky.social has been collecting ideas and resources on the matter.
Personally, I went a little old school: all exams were on paper!

You still need to be able to review your peers' code, you still have to code live during interviews. And aside from that, vibe coding takes all the fun from programming.

This post by @sramsay2.bsky.social articulated more of my thoughts on the subject perfectly!

If You’re Going to Vibe Code, Why Not Do It in C?

As models improve in engineering and coding tasks, we can only wonder what our courses on programming mean today. The way I approach it is the following: no matter how good the models are, at the end of the day, you still need to understand what's going on, you still need to be able to design code.

thank you so much for this post!! You've perfectly articulated some thoughts I've had on vibe coding for a while now. loved reading this. 🫶🏻
