I asked my 1st year students what their carrot was to get them through four years of University and here's the wordle. A "good job" seems to be a worthy carrot.

Are you a night owl? That's ok.

A recent survey comparing employers’ views with students’ perceptions of employers is giving a picture of students feeling that employers are hanging on to traditional attributes such as punctuality and expecting employees to do be able to take strict direction. Whereas employers seem to be moving towards more of an ethos attributed to start-ups where each employee is expected to take initiative and have a larger role in shaping the company. Indeed, perhaps employers are realising that some of the best coding is done through the night!
