Whenever we discuss a paper in my distributed systems class, I randomly split people into six groups and they spread out around the building to talk, while I walk from group to group. The groups are different every time. But so far, every time, I'm able to find five groups, while the sixth group goes off somewhere and I can't find or communicate with them until they eventually wander back to the classroom five minutes late.
I feel this is rather appropriate for a distributed systems course.
Did you know that I have a really cool color theme called Witch Hazel for VSCode @code & others?
