“soft skills” are “power-with” skills!

When trust leaves, and fear walks the hallways:

“It quietly shapes culture. It’s become acutely apparent in meetings where the leader asks, “Any thoughts?” but lacks the skills to invite real dialogue. The result? Either a few people speak and that is taken as the group’s consensus, or silence, which is mistaken for agreement. Over time, psychological safety erodes, until only the safest, shallowest, and superficial ideas”

@alelazic I've seen variations "code lives in XXX repository" in opensource discussions even before LLMs... e.g. here's a comment from 2016 that mentions "the main scene which lives in the same directory":
https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/4123#issuecomment-199962472

Would be curious if there has been an uptick in such usage that can be attributed to LLMs, however!

Godot closes while trying to import soundfile · Issue #4123 · godotengine/godot

Operating system or device: Ubuntu 15.04 64bit Issue description (what happened, and what was expected): Wanted to import a soundfile. While browsing my directories godot just closed without any me...

Question: Have people always said that DATA LIVES somewhere (in folders, repositories, etc.), or did that phrasing pick up with genAI? I've been noticing it a lot lately and it still sounds a bit off to me, but maybe I just never paid attention before... 😅

First week of training at the new job wrapped up! Main impression: I used to code for data analysis and use GUIs for surveys... Now I'm learning to do the opposite: coding for surveys, GUI for analysis. Same skills, swapped contexts. Funny adjustment. 🙃👩‍💻

73% of research papers in social and behavioural sciences are reproducible when data is provided. The problem is that out of 600 studies sampled, only 144 made data publicly available or shared data upon request.

Investigating the reproducibility of the social and behavioural sciences - Nature

A study of reproducibility in a stratified random sample of 600 papers published from 2009 to 2018 in 62 journals spanning the social and behavioural sciences finds higher reproducibility among more recent papers and papers from journals that require data sharing.

Hi all! I started an industry job this week and I'm really hyped about it (as my LinkedIn maybe, as some would say, prematurely reflects). Not sure yet how that will fit with my Mastodon/Bluesky presence. We'll see, but for this month or maybe even this quarter, I may be a bit quieter here. 😅
