This is true although that’s what enforcing strict type checking and good linting is supposed to help with. I think it’s partially an issue that you can kinda just type what you think and not everyone thinks efficiently/ programmer-y

Edited for clarity

The ensloppening of some of my favorite tools begins?

Just use something open source like Jan. Or hack together a quick gui yourself for Ollama or something

An unfortunate issue with Lemmy. Seems to generally skew tech which makes sense but there isn’t as much scientific literacy necessarily.

I think that repetition in any form is exceedingly helpful. It probably does help to have neuronal wiring already primed for that type of routine.

Anecdotally I took paper notes all through college because it allowed me to retain knowledge without studying. When I tried with an iPad as a little faux experiment on myself it didn’t have the same effect. I’d argue that this issue however isn’t from the technology itself but rather how easily you can be distracted when using it. Ultimately this is something super under studied imo and something I was interested in for a while. I’d argue however that it would be better to control for mental illness or stress effects. Considering how established social media is for us Gen Z and how damaging it’s been shown for mental health (as at least one example) I’d wonder how this would affect things. After all long term cortisol exposure is bad for memory if I recall correctly. (if anyone wants source I’ll have to go dig up an old paper I wrote).

Edit: Oh also something obvious I don’t know how much it’s been studied is the short form content and attention span effect.

This isn’t an excuse they’re just weak. Many have authoritarian fathers or parents and come out vowing to never be like that or support that behavior.

I’m not in academia anymore but I’m in tech, would love to move to Europe but immigration seems pretty tough
