@DickensNotes@annagibsonk @a_grener Over the last year and a half, we built a POC w/ Omeka, NextJS, and Mirador before settling on @astrodotbuild , Tailwind, #annonatate, and Mirador. Highly recommend this stack w/ Vercel for #digitalhumanities projects where it makes sense.
I consulted on @DickensNotes project back when I was still at NC State, and started working on it as technical lead as I left higher ed and libraries and transitioned careers a year and a half ago. Incredibly satisfying to see it out in public now.
The Digital Dickens Notes Project is live! Access transcriptions and annotations of the Working Notes #Dickens kept for his novels; explore the dynamics of Victorian serial form; immerse yourself in Dickens’s creative process

@DickensNotes It's been such a pleasure to work with @annagibsonk and @a_grener, who've worked on this far longer than I. They're fantastic collaborators and I'm glad to have had the chance to work so closely with them.
Even having left libraries for industry content strategy, really great to hear library and information science talk during the @Get_Writer workshop on taxonomy today
A year out of academia/higher ed, and one of the major losses is easy access to knowledge. Work in my fields (philosophy and theology) seems still rarely open, accessible, and/or affordable.
@AWhitTwit @pfyfe did a great assignment with students weaving together GPT2 generated text with their own in essays as a way, I think, to wrestle with some of the questions this raises
Code Insights is a fantastic tool. Coming out of higher ed, I'd be interested to see how researchers in CS and critical code studies could leverage it or how teachers could facilitate student research with it
Tracking and communicating progress is one of the most fundamental challenges for engineering leaders and teams.
That's why we launched Code Insights to help your team understand what's in your codebase and how it's changing over time: https://t.co/aJgnY2ECZe
@WorldCatLady For work, I actually got a gaming chair - a @secretlabchairs Titan Evo, and absolutely love it for the level of support and comfort. They make different sizes, including one for <= 5'6" folks
Tomorrow, a few humanities PhDs & I will chat tech careers from the humanist perspective
Today, I would like to highlight open tech roles that could be strong fits for grad students with a humanities background
This thread will be on writing, content, & editing roles in tech ⬇️
@AWhitTwit @code It absolutely will. VSCode has a new native notebook interface that let's you leverage a lot of the great aspects of the IDE. Big part of their focus right now. Docs: https://t.co/bx9h5C2a9I. Happy to hop on a call and look at it sometime if it's helpful!
@AWhitTwit Have you tried working with Jupyter Notebooks in @code? It's pretty much the only way I do it anymore. You still need to get your virtual env right, UNLESS, you take advantage of the devcontainers. They take a bit to learn, but smooth out the process a lot
