GenAI suggesting 'rm' is a big red flag for me. I'll always remember my @carpentries.carpentries.org instructor saying something like "rm exists, but there is no recycle bin, so probably best not to use rm". Pair programming with GenAI requires some ability to understand the output, the red flags.

Our Director of Workshops & Training, SherAaron Hurt, is at the Black Woman Leading Conference! She'll be reflecting, strategising, and leaving with practical action steps critical to her holistic growth as a leader, and which she'll bring to her role in our Core Team! blackwomanleading.com/retreat/

It's finally in a shareable state... my remixed version of the @carpentries.carpentries.org git workshop! jennajordan.me/git-novice-s... This version of the workshop prioritizes speed - it can be taught in 90 minutes instead of 4 hours.

Open infrastructures are under growing pressure β€” from shrinking public budgets to turbulent policy shifts. IOI’s 2025 State of Open Infrastructure report explores provides tangible action points on how funders, providers & adopters can respond. Read the report : investinopen.org/state-of-ope...

We recently partnered with Uni of Otago & Uni of Canterbury to help train the next generation of digital skills instructors through a @carpentries.carpentries.org Training workshop + support #LifeScience research across Australasia & beyond. πŸŽ“ ow.ly/q5oo50VYC68 #DataScience #TheCarpentries

At Copenhagen University Library Datalab, we rely on sandpaper etc from @carpentries.carpentries.org‬. However... Github is owned by Microsoft. And we are a bit... worried on relying on US owned platforms. Anyone with experience re. transferring the CI/CD processes to eg Codeberg? #carpentries
