Al Lowe is actually a pretty nice dude.

I’m not entirely sure why I did this, but when I was an adjunct for a few semesters, I emailed him for advice on teaching since he did the transition from teacher->programmer and I did the opposite.

He responded back very quickly with very helpful advice [1] and was very understanding and nice. I like him.

[1] I don’t want to share the emails since they are a bit personal, but the TL;DR was that he recommended I consider finding some training on how to be a teacher.
