Wtf is a “heatwave”?

Thank you for sharing this—much needed here in Iceland! A whole country starved for sunlight (and vitamin D)
Teaching Programming: Before and After AI Tools
Teaching programming used to be a slow, rewarding process. When students built a simple game like Hangman, they had to think. How do you mask letters? How do you check guesses and reveal the correct ones? We spent hours breaking down problems, debugging, and learning the core logic of code through struggle and iteration.
Now, with AI tools, students can just ask for a working function—and often get one in seconds.
It’s a game-changer. But it also shifts the challenge: from figuring out how to build something to understanding why it works and how to adapt it. We’re not teaching less—we’re teaching differently. And the hard part is making sure curiosity and problem-solving don’t get lost in the shortcut
