Today I asked ChatGPT to solve almost every exercise in Think Python and DSIRP. It did. My conclusion: everyone who writes code should spend the next month doing professional development on writing code with LLM-assist. This is how code will be written from now on.

Willa was crying so we went for a drive. I have this app Rockd that shows the bedrock map anywhere in the state. It's mostly limestone and sandstone in my area but there is this little spot nearby that is quartzite. We drove around, and I spotted a quarry.

Looked up the owners, big mining company Michels, happy to see they offer material "from pea-sized gravel to 20-ton boulders" but the website really nailed it with the kid activities such as "edible construction truck".
