Sigh. Rep. Raul Grijalva, a good guy for real, someone I did some work for a few years back, wants Biden to drop out. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4754535-raul-grijalva-joe-biden-drop-out-democrats/

@GottaLaff at the risk of being blocked - a good guy for real would say this privately

As a HS CS teacher I'm often torn when someone asks "do you do anything with AI with the kids?" not so much because of the controversies, but rather because nearly all projects I could plan would require using libraries of code without explaining how they work.

I feel the need to go from scratch to some degree. I know using libraries of part of coding, a worthy skill... but I have not been impressed with the cake mix lesson plans I've seen.

Has anyone seen anything that addresses this?

@futurebird I'm not a fan of AI but I would suggest that most people working as programmers do not start from scratch. They have to come in to big working programs and read and understand their corner of it.

@futurebird Really? except for the very few where there were actual right answers I found myself not caring much - that more than one was acceptable.
