I’ve gotten to a point where writing code without heavily relying on an #LLM #CodingHarness feels sloppy. #SpecDrivenDevelopment has been a game-changer for me. If you haven’t heard about it yet, there are a few famous implementations worth looking up, like #Github #SpecKit: https://github.com/github/spec-kit.

A student recently told us they were scared before attending one of our advanced #Django workshops. They have #ADHD and were worried that they would struggle with the format.
But, in our workshop, they thrived.
Not because we designed it specifically for neurodivergent learners. We designed it for humans.
Read this to learn more about our philosophy for designing education systems and organisational processes.

Git is a powerful tool in software development, especially valuable with the rise of #LLM coding assistants. It serves as a collaboration platform and a crucial safety net.
What's one small change your team has made that acknowledged people are prone to human error - and ended up making everything work better?
This is a serious question, we'd love to hear some stories and perspectives.
Close your eyesand think of your workplace.
Now consider the word "accountability."
What do you feel? Is "accountability" a stick? Does it associate with fear, righteousness, frustration, or bureaucracy?
Or is it about empowerment?

Designing for perfect humans is easy.
Designing for real humans - who forget things, get distracted, and have complicated lives - takes more thought.
But it's worth it. And it's kind.

"Twenty-one percent of employees globally are engaged, according to the State of the Global Workplace: 2025 Report. Sixty-two percent of employees are not engaged, and 17% are actively disengaged." - #Gallup

Of course the numbers are different for different demographics, locations, etc. But it's still pretty dire. This costs a lot of people a lot of money, that's the first thing many businesses focus on. But there is also a real, human cost.
Training can help.

@samueljsb [2] So we used spaced repetition and a few other tricks, but we do it in a way that isn't simply repetitive. There is a rhythm to how we revisit concepts from different angles.
Then we keep an eye on people's progress and ping anyone who seems to be struggling in any way (JIT support). And have many opportunities for learners to get support, support each other and share tangential experiences. So even though things are self-paced, learners dont feel disconnected or unsupported
Curb cuts were built for wheelchair users. Now they're essential for cyclists, parents with strollers, delivery workers, anyone with luggage.
What if we designed education the same way - accommodations that help some, but end up helping everyone?
@samueljsb@mastodon.me.uk We do a few things differently. One major thing is empowering learners to manage their own attention instead of expecting everyone's focus to follow a schedule we set. The sage-on-a-stage model doesn't really allow for that.
That said, these things need to be implemented in a way that doesn't leave people disconnected - a lot of ed tech platforms seem to think content delivery == education. Good content is necessary.
Imagine if giving back was central to a company's mission, not just a CSR checkbox.

Why do we force all learners to move at the same pace when everyone learns differently?
This piece explores how mastery-based learning in tech education lets learners actually master skills before moving on - leading to better outcomes, growth mindsets, and fewer failures.
