DESCRIPTION:I started out as a lexicographer and have ended up\, to my sur
 prise\, as a Digital Humanities RSE\, working principally on the MPhil in 
 Digital Humanities at Cambridge Digital Humanities. One of the challenges 
 and rewards of my job is working with students whose technical experience 
 varies between essentially none and a first degree in Computer Science. Eq
 ually wide ranging are the topics the students research\, from\, say\, met
 re detection in Greek tragedy to TikTok influencers. The MPhil is a humani
 ties degree\, based in the English Faculty: you don't have to write any co
 de and if you do we don't mark it\, which of course affects the way the st
 udents allocate their time. In this talk I will discuss the ways in which 
 my career has (and hasn't) equipped me to do my current job\, the pleasure
  of working on humanities projects with students\, but also how my prefere
 nce for digital minimalism sometimes conflicts with my students' interests
