The Search for Meaning Through Collaboration and Code - Pratley

This talk shares how the Scicloj community developed a collaborative way of working centered on the REPL, shaped by socratic dialogue, and driven by the need to understand data, ideas, and each other. Out of these practices came tools like Noj, Clay and Metamorph built in response to real problems. Problems made visible by doing the work together, in public.

Attendees will leave with concrete ideas for collaborative idea exploration. This is a story of building tools and relationships at the same time, and how that process can sustain meaning in technical work.
