Make some learning technology you use softer or harder

The objective here is to examine your practice - how you learn, how you teach, and to try to find the places where the technologies you use are too hard (that limit or overly constrain what you do) or too soft (that require you to perform more active effort than you would ideally wish)

Identify something that you do now that is either too determined by technology, or where you need to make it faster, more efficient or easier.

Using the principle of assembly, make that part of your technology softer or harder as needed.

Remember, the main design pattern to follow is to aggregate to make things softer (ie you take nothing away from what you could do before but simply add new facilities) and to replace to make things harder. These are just general rules though and there are other ways of (at least) softening a technology - do what makes sense to you.
