Prompt: I would like to try a little test. I will give you a short piece of text, and you render it as though it were written by a tenth-grader. Here's the text:

We’re Training Students To Write Worse To Prove They’re Not Robots, And It’s Pushing Them To Use More AI

Response:

That's a fun exercise! Here's the headline rewritten in a tenth-grade voice:

Schools Are Making Kids Write Bad on Purpose to Show They're Human, But It's Actually Making Them Use AI More

""" Basically, they’re separate because Guido doesn’t care about packaging. That’s really what it comes down to. When packaging started to become a thing, we just didn’t have any interest in it, and so it never became a core dev concern. It just never came up—it was just not our thing. """

That's the way that junior programmers think. Marketers too.

Is it too early to start thinking about applications? Like Visio, for instance, or Inkscape.

> Most coding bootcamps are very profit driven and not really interested in the needs of their students. He will be much better off in the long term.

I have worked with several people who have gone to coding boot camps. None of them have been able to handle the day-to-day responsibilities of a working programmer.

I think these coding boot camps are a waste of money.
