This sounds just like @ethanwhite.weecology.org and @skmorgane.bsky.social jam.

Will fill in the blanks later. Multiple members of the press with blood on their faces, shoved, batonned at Los Angeles MDC. LAPD now calling unlawful assembly.

GitHub - espm-157/fish-python-template Contribute to espm-157/fish-python-template development by creating an account on GitHub.

Attempted to vibe code my course's module 2 on fisheries collapse (github.com/espm-157/fis...) in Claude Sonnet 4 via VSCode-copilot: I try not to write any code, but provide feedback and directions as it gets things wrong (or stuck).

Struck by just how much this feels like working with students

I like this idea for sharing with others and taking the time to define your LLM usage for yourself.

Like a README for what you create.

Something like this could work at an organizational level too.

Because we must build good things while we scream about the bad, I have started a "Data for Good" team @data-for-good-team.bsky.social that partners with organizations needing short-term data science help. We have three projects ongoing & will add more as our capacity grows.

For Open Source Stories I loved talking with @juliasilge.com about her journey in open source, from solving problems she had to now working on large general purpose solutions & her perspective on what it means to build open source and be a human being on the internet.
