@smach in that slide, I like explain, refactor, and optimize a lot, as they have parallel analogs in writing/active reading. I have been perusing "Competencies in **Sleep** Medicine: An Assessment Guide : **Strohl**, **Kingman**, and simply asking an LLM to rewrite some of the more boiler plate academic medicine code in the vernacular has made it a lot easier to understand. (The different chapters are written by experts in subject areas, so there is a lot of that) 🍸 😺
