Hello folks! I'm seeking participants for a user study on a new code editor that completes your program text with syntactic obligations, which are virtual tokens that stand in for missing text. Details in thread. Reskeets appreciated πŸ™

Prologue
Drakken Darkslider had died five million times and one, each death more excruciating than the last. The contorted, lifeless expressions of everyone he'd ever loved were scored into his eyelids. His tormentor, the black iron clad Vrilth Venetor facelessly and cruelly smirked, β€œthe cycle shall never be broken.” Hot irons pierced Drakken's flesh, for a moment that contained an eternity.
Chapter 1
It was the first day of Higgledy Piggledy fest down in Bigglesbottom Grove. The Plum Folk had hung their warmly colored Revelry Lanterns with care

I can't decide if "A Month of Lunches" is a sequel to "A Confederacy of Dunces" or the name of the new George R. R. Martin novel...

I am beyond-excited to announce that I am joining the UC San Diego Department of Computer Science and Engineering @ucsd_cse as an Associate Professor this coming Fall. I will miss Madison and the great colleagues here, but looking forward to the new adventure ahead.

Photo of a slide titled "Motivation", with the text "End Users can't always read the code", and a meme from Gravity Falls. The top panel of the meme shows Dipper holding a piece of paper with Pandas code written on it, and the bottom panel says "This is worthless".
