I think this way about playing the piano. I'm primarily a guitarist so the piano is a bit of a challenge for me. I use it as a way to force my memory to think in challenging ways and commit complex content.

1. They know so little that they don't know what they don't know. As a result they are way too overconfident and struggle as coaches.
2. They know enough to know what they don't know so they work their asses off to know more and how to convey it to their team and excel as coaches.
3. They know so much and the sport comes so easy to them that they cannot understand how to teach it to their team and struggle as coaches.
Now I have a name for #1 group!
My dear mother told me this story when I was just a boy. I was enchanted by the idea of this magical stone, too young to consider the clever trick the tramp was playing on the woman.
The sense of cooking being a magical endeavor has stayed with me ever since.
I don't expect that to cease in my lifetime.
Maybe this is a setup issue within our org, I don't know.
Our daughter recently developed EILO. It sounds silly and totally illogical, but more than once, I've found myself wondering if there is anything we could have done to have helped her avoid it.
So yes, that feeling just comes with being a parent, I guess.

(and...neat puzzle...nice job, creator!)
Love that he took the time to honor Ms. Goodall one more time. What a class act.
I get that it can scan a physical space and then I can see a digital reproduction of that space on VR goggles...but then what? Do I just stand there looking around the space?
For those unfamiliar with vectors, it might be helpful to briefly explain how the two vectors (their magnitude and direction) represent the one bread and one milk and how vectors can be moved around and added to each other.
But, can you say more about treading the "path of least resistance"? I've always felt there is tremendous value in leaning into friction because that is where the best opportunity for personal growth exists.
The trouble with the "learn just this one thing" approach is that one is forced to learn said thing at the most basic level because anything beyond that requires all sorts of skills and techniques that are difficult to teach in lesson format. Rather, they're just absorbed as one explores the topic. It's the sort of subconscious / muscle memory stuff a person doesn't even realize they're learning.
So, yes, for the most basic of topics, I can see how removing the effort can make sense. For anything beyond that I feel there is tremendous value in the struggle.
It reminds me a bit of looking up coding solutions on StackOverflow back in the day. Yes, it was a slog and consumed valuable time. However, I always felt that I picked up all sorts of other valuable information reading a variety of possible solutions or spying a related but different problem and taking a moment to consider it.
It is similar to how I learned to play guitar. With no videos and very limited tablature, I had to learn songs by ear which was crazy inefficient. However, it trained my ear and kept me exploring the entire fretboard as I figured the song out. This ended up making me a much more complete guitarist.
I've taken that approach and think it's sound advice.
I used to go into smaller coffee shops and it was a 50/50 gamble that I was going to get terrible coffee (though more recently, I've had better luck). At least with Starbucks I knew I was going to get average coffee every single time.
That being said, I make 95% of my coffee at home.
Specifically, drivers who are "just running in" to grab a coffee or a pizza or whatever. What they don't understand is even a limited amount of time blocking the view of drivers can be catastrophic.
Parking up to the corner of an intersection is just a really dangerous, selfish thing to do.
There is a very real reason why most intersections require drivers to park 20-30 feet away. Please think of the safety of others and adhere to this rule.
I find I struggle with this. If an LLM is being used to improve the overall quality of my writing, I feel like it is then doing the writing and that doesn't sit well with me. Same with having it write my code (though I don't write code for a living).
Maybe it would be similar to playing a guitar solo and then having an LLM fix all the missed notes. Is that still my solo? I tend to feel it isn't.
Just my personal struggle with this new, admittedly incredible, paradigm.
The daily BS of "put your phone away", "are you on your phone?", "give me your phone", etc is not only an ongoing stressor for teachers, but an interruption / distraction and a "micro time suck" that very much takes away from the education of all the other students.
