   Hmm. Any interest in another #AdventOfSystemSeeing this year?

   Guessing No-vember isn’t the best time to ask…

     Back on AdventOfSystemSeeing design musing/muddling:

     One thing I’ve been wrestling with, is the balance of stand-alone exercises and exercises focused on a focal situation.

     The stand-alone exercises are easier to share, so there is more of a community thing… But the idea is to let the focal situation and systems be (in large part) the teacher…

     Working on ideas for another AdventOfSystemSeeing … Sometimes its like 5 people got value from the advent(ure) these past two years, but several more got pestered on the daily with the prompts in the timeline, and another AdventOfSystemSeeing would be a lot more work (with high pester::value ratio), and then I discover a 6th person!! hashtagDilemma [More seriously, wondering if I should make the prompts pull only, but then the discovery aspect is harder….]

     last year several folk shared their work on here ( #AdventOfSystemSeeing ), and that increased the learning value for others, including me… (So the daily “push” had a small but lovely community aspect to it.)

     These don’t take anything like the level of investment of the advent of code, but it’s still a lot of free/unsponsored work that is easy to second guess the value of…

     It’s not the most compelling piece of work in the universe… 15 boosts for the assembled version (plus 11 a couple days earlier)…
