Issue 79 of #ontheside is about working with LLMs and seeing it as working with your reports.

I have been working with LLMs heavily in the past few months. While I continue to get better, it still feels like helping the LLMs instead of LLMs helping us.

Issue 63 of #ontheside is about practice of teaching when working in orgs.

I came across an interesting point of view framed in a tweet and wanted to jot down a few points as I am preparing for a workshop at the day job.

Instead, I wrote my Ted talk on Teaching and its importance.
