I'm a web-developer whom recently assisted a teacher and education scientist write a NoCode application for generating student comments.

The teacher switched classes in January and had to write report cards for 2 different classes. He looked around for a faster, more accurate way to take the data he had collected on his students and use that to generate report card comments for his students. So he started testing prompt engineering with chat GPT. It was quite impressive, but he still had to do a lot of manual work and he needed to understand some aspects of prompt engineering. Upon reflecting, there was a better way to collect input the data into the LLM, so that's when I came in to assist and using a NoCode solution, we built Reportcard.AI - writing assistant: https://reportcardcomments.online

We've designed a tool that helps streamline the report card writing process, creating a high quality benchmark for the first draft of your comments, so you can focus your precious time and energy on the important parts of the comment. reportcardcomments.online

The purpose of Reportcard.AI is to take the data we have collected on our students, and use the writing assistant to generate well written text output, based on the data collected data, to accurately convey where a student is in their learning.

It writes what we tell it to write.

What it is NOT meant to do: replace the teacher in this process

What it IS meant to do: Get all the prep work out of the way fast to get a teacher to a high-quality comment benchmark, from which they can then focus their attention and effort without worrying about the appropriate qualifiers, gender, pronouns, spelling mistakes. The system is currently loaded with the Ontario curriculum (although it can be used by any province) and understands the qualifiers that are aligned to grade levels. It auto adds ‘Next Steps’.

You can…

    • WRITE original comments for each student in a subject

    • ADD your own subject level comments specific to what you taught

    • ADD unique comments for each individual student before you generate the comment.  

    It takes about 10-15 minutes to write 26 high quality subject level comments (for a class of students.  
    Writing a class of Learning Skills comments takes about 30 minutes for an entire class of 26 students.

Great article! I read it because I am using MongoDB and was interested in using ScyllaDB in the future. I was pleasantly surprised you wrote using Golang for your examples because that's my primary language.

May I make a suggestion in the future to include "Golang" in your articles title so your articles are easier to find by us Go devs? Thank you! :)

Checkout "Stefan Sobkowiak - The Permaculture Orchard" via his YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@StefanSobkowiak. TL;DR, he purchased an apple orchard and started applying permaculture principals to create sustainable business. For example, he took every third apply tree and cut it down to replace with a "Nitrogen Fixing" sort of tree in addition planting other smaller plants and shrubs in between the trees (see "syntropic agroforestry") and overall he's had tremendous success. This would be the best video of him explaining his success with applying permaculture - https://youtu.be/zArUk3THIV0.

Another person to checkout is "Shawn Dubrowsky - EdibleAcres" via his YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@edibleacres. He basically applies permaculture principals to feed himself/wife on a substance level and runs a tree nursery business.

You have a cool idea so I’m curious myself what others will mention in this discussion.

It takes a little bit more time to setup your application in a container, but as time goes on, it saves you work by containing different services you can easily re-create / add / delete / etc versus having to install them manually in your workstation. In addition, having a containerized Golang application is the first step to creating "cloud-native" sort of applications. If this interests you, checkout this tutorial on building cloud-native applications:

From my experience so far Crystal feels like a performant language with the wonderful feel of Python. Definitely check this language out if this is the first time you're hearing about it.
