When hiring someone, I would much rather teach someone with a great attitude and curiosity a hard tech skill they don't possess than try (and almost certainly fail) to teach someone with hard tech skills to develop the great attitude and curiosity they don't possess. Every damn time.

There should be a federal climate scientist (with some PhD from some very good program I don't know about) working with federal and state government employees (at agencies with boring names), using my taxes to increase drainage.

It’s exactly what I tell my students: you’re not here to have me a thing I give a grade to, you’re here to learn to be a better writer. Using AI for that is like learning to ride a bike by putting your bike on the back of a truck and having someone else drive it around the block.
