@ChShersh Those haskell videos are great since it’s more dense than other materials. I got a lot of value from them. Thanks for making them!

Math Academy is the best edu tech software since Anki. Worth a listen.
Had a great chat with @oznova_ and @whatrocks on the @csprimer show! Some things we covered in the 1hr podcast (link in comments): -- @_MathAcademy_ was originally built to support a school program. How come it also works so well for adults? -- What makes someone a student a good fit for Math Academy? What's required to succeed? -- The idea of calibrating to student interest/motivation profiles in the future, just like we currently calibrate to student knowledge profiles

@ninja_maths With student motivation, it doesn’t matter where in the stack it’s solved as long as it’s solved by the system as a whole right? Instead of task design, maybe it’s solved in another layer like fast feedback, a good difficulty graph, gamification, or self-selection of students.
