Fisler, Littman, & I have an upcoming CACM op-ed: "Teaching Novice Computing and Programming in the Agentic AI Era". Based on our experimental course+research. We argue that the «flaky compiler» is a useful metaphor for course design. Details in preprint: cs.brown.edu/people/sk/Pu...

Joe Halpern played a huge role in creating the CoRR and later integrating it with @arxiv.bsky.social. He chaired the CS section from 1998 until 2023, and he was active as a moderator until just a few weeks ago. Thank you, Joe, for promoting open science!
