Interesting piece by @Hansen_edu, Teaching Assistant at IIPP, on the importance of writing from a teacher's perspective. He asks "what does the usage of automated reasoning do to the student experience?"

Sorry for the cliché, but #TheDawnOfEverything (David Graeber and @davidwengrow) really is a book that everyone should read.
