Chimney Rock, North Carolina A glimpse into the forever altered landscape in western NC. The more I look at this, the harder it is to believe. The economic and human toll #Helene has caused is high, and we still have yet to realize it in full.. #ncwx #ChimneyRock #Flood

URGENT: FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY FOR THE LAKE LURE DAM! DAM FAILURE IMMINENT! RSIDENTS BELOW THE DAM NEED TO EVACUATE TO HIGHER GROUND IMMEDIATELY! #ncwx

@EricHastie What room is this?

Thanks for the classroom makeover…how’s this ADA accessible?! That ledge is like 10 inches tall and there are no ramps.

It is hard to describe how much you learn by actually doing — by carefully considering all factors, making a decision, and then taking responsibility for the outcome. Unlocks wisdom that cannot be arrived at any other way.

Come join us at UNC-CS. Such a fun and supportive department to be in as junior faculty! :)

"A real leader knows there are lots of ways to solve any problem and just as many ways to make them worse. The right thing to do almost always is to open the possibilities, find a wider array of choices." Hear! Hear! Thanks for elevating the discourse @MimiVChapman

@housingMark @LOLCHAPELHILL2 @triblogblog I appreciate the terminology and knowledge sharing here, it feels like a big win to have learned a formalized concept over Twitter. The growth dynamics are quite different, which is what I am having a hard time reconciling; university pay is not growing like SF salaries have.

We can't have food trucks in Chapel Hill but we have a new restaurant opening on Franklin that offers $500 shots of tequila to go with $15 corn on the cob. What in the private equity is going on here?

@LOLCHAPELHILL2 @housingMark @triblogblog Strong agreement her 🤝

@KrisJordan @housingMark @triblogblog Personally I want more parks and green space. I usually just pretend I want affordable housing to block any housing at all.

@housingMark @LOLCHAPELHILL2 @triblogblog We certainly need more affordable housing. We need solutions that add affordable units at a faster rate than luxury units. Not settling on the inverse.

@housingMark @LOLCHAPELHILL2 @triblogblog Trickle-down Reagonomics didn't work for wealth and it isn't going to work for housing when there is significant potential for population growth. These lux condos will attract new, rich whites, not lure existing rich, white Chapel Hillians out of their single-family homes.

@LOLCHAPELHILL2 @housingMark @triblogblog Lmao anonymous cowardly trolling is the level of discourse I've come to expect in CH housing discussion, but I can't miss the opportunity to have you to scroll to the top of this thread for the irony 🤡 lols. @triblogblogblogblog tweet is about their discomfort with change in CH

@KrisJordan @housingMark @triblogblog I’m going to be more blunt than Chris, I just like things the way they are, and change makes me uncomfortable. #moreparking #nohousing

@LOLCHAPELHILL2 @triblogblog Please educate me on how building more $480,000 condos with 572sq ft of living space is doing anything for students. These aren't even the more luxurious new ones you're clamoring to have buit... zillow.com/homedetails/14…

@KrisJordan @triblogblog Preach Chris! NO MORE HOUSING! Students can live on campus where the belong, no one needs students downtown. MORE parking please!

@triblogblog The 2nd order effect of 3x more high-end condo units going in than affordable units, and high-earning wet lab industrialization taking over mom and pops restaurants, and unmanaged city-like density, is students/staff/faculty will be priced out of Franklin St restaurants and bars.

@triblogblog The folks moving to these high rise $1.6m/unit condos you all are so excited to see add density to downtown Chapel Hill need somewhere walkable to eat that isn't overrun by students & low/middle class. Build luxury city condos, get luxury city dining. zillow.com/homedetails/14…

UNC student Nassibah Bedreddine offers a better, more mature, balanced, and actually nuanced take on housing in one opinion piece than the juvenile NIMBY vs. YIMBY clickbait in circulation over the past year in CH.

@wanyiChen0210 I've found it valuable in the instances I've tried. It's decent at code review, too, though I've not used it as much for that and there was noise in my attempts. Yes, it's important tool for students to learn to wield, slightly worried about overreliance, but we'll see.

@KrisJordan How good is ChatGPT at finding bugs? Do you encourage your students to use ChatGPT for programming?

I'm curious: on a regular basis, what's everyone using #chatgpt for? ChatGPT has been a hot topic for some time now, but as a student, I'm mostly just using it as a writing assistant: generating paragraphs from outlines, editing drafts, etc. What are some other good use cases?
