Workroom PlayTime 024: Puzzle 11 (is an awful toy)

We'll gather on Zoom / Miro, on Thursday 3 July at 4pm London time (local time for you) to play together with Puzzle11.

Puzzle 11 is simple, and it can also be an excruciating experience. We'll play with the puzzle, and talk about what circumstances and characteristics make it unpleasant. It is, perhaps, an interesting exercise in what makes an exercise not work.

These exercises are for everyone, for free. Paying Subscribers get to play together every week. This week's is open to subscribers and friends: Subscribers will see joining info below. Pop your name on the Miro board if you're coming.

In other news:

• I've recently published two tiny tools: checkRefs and summarise history. Subscribers get first look at the LLM prompts and failures that helped me get to useful tools.
• Over the last couple of Mondays, I ran a 90-minute online workshop Test-Driven Generation and a small conversation and demo group on ephemeral environments for teaching testing (and, by extension, for testing). If you're sad that you missed them, I'll run them again in October: tell me that you're interested.
• As the summer moves on, my plans get ever-more out-of-shape. Thank you for bearing with me. I plan to carry on with Workroom PlayTime while I'm travelling with family, but expect bigger changes. Advance notice: Workroom PlayTime for Thursdays 31 July and 7 August will certainly be shunted about – I'm on stage for one and in the air for the other. They'll move, but I can't yet see when I can move them to.

Thank you for reading!

Cheers –

James
