[TOS] blog post on getting students involved in open source

[Gregory Hislop]

Another key point of the work Mel cites is that at the expert stage, knowledge is tacit and experts do things intuitively rather than by conscious thought.  This means that for many tasks their performance declines if they think about things too much.  It also means that they may struggle if asked to explain what they are doing (e.g., by a novice).

Interesting source! I wasn't aware of this. Know how I can get my hands
on the original?
