@Jon_Mackenzie Thanks for this, Jon. Watching the match, I thought that midfielders and center backs carried the ball the same as they did under Amorim. Could this be a case of players not adjusting to a change of system, or do you think it was a (poorly-designed) intention of Fletcher’s?
🚨🔵 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester City recall centre back Max Alleyne from Watford with immediate effect.
#MCFC act fast as Josko Gvardiol will be out for several weeks with injury.
City were very happy with Alleyne’s game time and development at Watford + need him now.
Here we go 🔙
What @realmadhuguru calls “building” is exactly what good writing is: iterative, generative, clarifying.
PMs prototyping instead of writing PRDs mirrors what student-centered writing-based classrooms do: they use writing to think.
Drafting is designing.
At @Google, we are moving from a writing‑first culture to a building‑first one.
Writing was a proxy for clear thinking, optimized for scarce eng resources and long dev cycles - you had to get it right before you built.
Now, when time to vibe-code prototype ≈ time to write PRD, PMs can SHOW not tell. Role profiles are blurring, creativity and building are happening in parallel.
@mouthfeeeel Formative failure can be an integral part of the learning process and provide good opportunity for metacognitive growth and thinking. Simply assigning an “F” to a student as an assessment of their product/learning does little to help them learn.
I think the desire to fail students is reflective of a pedagogy that centers the teacher as meaning-maker and arbiter of knowledge rather than one that is concerned with the intellectual development and growth of students.
one of my minor crank takes that will never get anywhere is that humanities classes should be culturally allowed to fail students. humanities don’t have weeding or filter classes the way stem gets to. it’s not that the matter is less difficult but the standards to pass are lower
