notes:

  • spoke about using for() to help in encoding patterns (that humans can see).
  • i observed mimi yin conduct her class today. it was beautiful — she orchestrates the room, and carefully nudges each student (most often the weakest link (see https://www.experimental-history.com/p/science-is-a-strong-link-problem)). she also paced her facilitation — i make the mistake often of jumping while i facilitate, but she paced herself.
  • for() does everything at once. everything within draw() is one frame of animation. computers are absurdly fast.
  • spoke about finding the right amount of minimum-data to identify a pattern.
  • spoke a bit about making good functions: modularity, reuse, et-cetera.
