Now people can pretend to look at you while you're trying to talk to them (or drive). PROGRESS !

Why does this remind me of the new eyePhone on Futurama?

Polling more than 19,000 developers, the new "Developer Economics State of the Developer Nation, 20th Edition," report is out, finding that C# has ticked up a notch in popularity, overtaking PHP for No. 5 on that ranking. In case you don't know what you're working on

It’s fun to point out that a message like “Hey folks, is it normal for the layout on some pages to be messed up on my phone?” isn’t useful, but perhaps it is more helpful to explain precisely why. Print off and staple to foreheads as needed

The Unified Modelling Language (UML), developed by Rational Software, and adopted as a standard by the Object Management Group (OMG) in 1997, was meant to standardise several disparate pictorial notations in the field of software engineering. No, it's just the architect is still working on the diagrams

UML nowadays is generated after the fact; it is hardly a planning tool, and not used to transfer ideas, but to be able to say "we use UML".

Interestingly, the article is by someone who was a UML promoter. He thinks its use has declined significantly because software is no longer engineered, largely due to Agile wanting to get stuff done continuously. He says no one has time for formal specifications any more.
Specifications?! I thought UML was for describing designs. Maybe I missed the part that's oriented at specs. I found UML useful, but only for documenting a framework, and only after it was fairly stable. Maybe I'm an outlier, but my implementations often strayed from my designs. When the code speaks to you, the design can change. Until you code, there are details that you won't anticipate, so stop at high-level design. Detailed design is usually a waste of time.
The code--not even its interface comments, let alone a design document or UML diagrams--is the text. The time to update those other things is after the code has stabilized. They should be roadmaps. Trying to make them formal and detailed is a waste of time, because the code is ultimately the only truth.

I think that if the code is speaking to you, you might just be in need of some medication. 
The difficult we do right away...

Overly bureaucratic companies you've avoided working for?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

So far every single company I worked for has been a drunken, high on meth, angry, chaos whirlwind with dementia. I'm missing out on overly bureaucratic, I know.

Developers who use and target Microsoft’s .NET Framework are no longer outsiders looking in when it comes to developing container-based applications. A pretty container spiffs up anything
|
|
|
|

Although the word "app" is used, it is important to note that the "app" does not have any GUI. If you want to run a Windows Forms or WPF app in the container: bad luck, it does not work. The example in the article shows how to run a web site with IIS in the container...
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

Researchers have been developing a theory, Information Foraging Theory (IFT), of how people seek information, whether it be on the web, in a filing cabinet, or even in source code. It follows a metaphor that stems from animals looking for food in the wild. It's always in the last place you look

They left out prayer, spiritual guidance, crystal balls, Tarot cards, and ouija boards (to name a few.) Ah, science has become so materialistic!
Not to mention the bizarre but all too often experience of simply going for a walk, thinking about anything but the problem, and having an ah ha moment when one realizes the problem.
