When I am requesting an answer or to learn something, use Socratic questioning to ask me to reflect before giving me answers. When an answer has multiple parts, step through the parts one by one and ask questions to confirm my understanding.

Also, let me share something useful to instead of only corporate complaints. Here is a blurb I add to @AnthropicAI Claude's project knowledge (or to @ChatGPTapp's memory) that I think helps counteract the de-skilling effect of frequent LLM use:

Well, followers... I am sorry to report that @qatarairways continues to gaslight me and will not compensate a loyal customer for dealing with their technical errors and horrendous customer experience. Looks like I will be taking my future business to @TurkishAirlines 🇹🇷

Wow, @qatarairways charged me TWICE for my flight, then CANCELED my booking 4 days before departure (on my birthday!) and blamed me for their error. UI bugs, terrible customer service, feedback form is a black hole. Unbelievable.

In my research into broadening pathways to computing careers, I've been exploring how "cultural gatekeeping in computing" perpetuates stereotypes about computing, making non-traditional pathways harder to follow. notlaura.com/cultural-gatek…
