1. Should engineers design?
Designers design, and engineers build. This is the current state of things in the world. But is this the ideal state? Can engineers do more than just build?
Chester, a product engineer at Mobbin (a UI/UX reference library for designers), challenges norms and shares his engineering philosophy. Also, he works on Design Spells, a newsletter showcasing design details 🪄
2. 2 Side Projects: Pair Coding with ChatGPT
With the help of ChatGPT, Wei Gao assisted her designer friend in creating animations for her portfolio site and developing a web app for generating Instagram images. She'll discuss her collaborative experience with ChatGPT and insights gained.
Formerly a web front-end Software Engineer at Shopee, she now works as a Software Engineer in a financial institution.

The shell is a fast, efficient textual interface to your computer. Come learn to use the shell, and write shell scripts, to do things from managing files and processing text, to writing quick scripts that help you automate and speed up your daily computing life.
Please ensure you have access to a POSIX-compatible shell, such as Bash. If you are on macOS or a Linux distribution, you are set; if you use Windows, consider installing Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) or Ubuntu in VirtualBox.
- WSL: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
This workshop is largely based on the Missing Semester of Your CS Education lecture series conducted in MIT. This week's topic is based on https://missing.csail.mit.edu/2020/shell-tools/.
