IMHO, the peak will move higher over time. In effect, the peak, at any point of time, will be quite lofty for a sizeable proportion of programmers.

Security researchers have uncovered a flaw in the way thousands of popular mobile applications store data online, leaving users' personal information, including passwords, addresses, door codes and location data, vulnerable to hackers. This is why I rely on the tried-and-true pig latin to encrypt all communication

SAFe is a programming framework that aims to enable you to apply lean-agile practices at enterprise scale. Will it take your development projects where they need to go? Because the consultants needed a new way to define agile

A couple of rants I'm afraid....
#1 - Agile is a business process / people management idea - not a programming framework.
#2 - In the article they make much of the "release train that pushes code to production on a schedule....every ten weeks". That is so anti-agile it chills my soul.

I dunno, at my company, we have an "agile" project that has been in development for 2 years, and it still hasn't delivered working software yet. So 10 weeks sounds pretty agile from this side of the fence.

That first slide made my eyes bleed.
As a plus, the current trend of wrapping all sorts of meta-processes into software development is keeping all kinds of middle-managers and consultants employed!

The Ecma General Assembly has officially approved ECMAScript 6, the latest standard edition of JavaScript.
I have seen the future, and its name is ES6.

So how many years do we have to wait until we can use it as "standard" in web apps?

2025?
WIn10 LTS will keep IE11, and until they state otherwise I'm assuming the life cycle policy for business versions will remain at a decade. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

It’s no secret that Google often builds its own custom hardware for its data centers, but what’s probably less known is that Google uses custom networking protocols that have been tweaked for use in its data centers instead of relying on standard Internet protocols to power its networks. There you go: now you can build your own copy

Actually, this does enable just that. Wasm allows binaries to be delivered to the browser, roughly corresponding to the features in asm.js. As that is lower-level than JS, it is a declared intent that other languages can generate wasm modules.
Finally (at least in a year or so), it may be possible to write web code in another language without pre-compiling to JS. A vote for sanity.
Its very encouraging all major vendors are supporting it (with the notable exception (again) of crApple), otherwise it would be dead in the water.

Okay, but from my understanding of the article, a JavaScript engine is still required for execution. The only difference is that the input is now a serialized AST (that can originate from another language than JavaScript, of course) instead of a text file that needs to be parsed. It helps performance, but it is not as native as it could be. It's just like Java or .NET, it still needs a execution engine to bring it to the metal.
