And being an expert means that you have the skills to deeply learn the new technology that the job requires you to learn.
"I'm this, or I'm that" is BS. People are always learning new skills, forgetting old ones, adapting to new circumstances, etc. We are not just one thing all our lives.

Generalists for sure, with the ability to specialize in whatever, that's the ticket

As I wrote in this blog[^] you need to be both. You need to have both a broad understanding of IT coupled with a deeper understanding of a particular subject. This is something that is referred to a T-shaped.

I'm pear shaped, is that close enough?

Me too. We may be pear shaped but we remain peer less.
What a BAD pun.

Sounds good enough to me

"In addition to better support for modern web standards, improved performance, increased security and greater reliability, migrating to IE 11 also helps unlock upgrades to Windows 10, Office 365 and the latest Windows devices." So that's how you stop Windows 10 from installing itself

Edge? Hate it. The only thing I've used it for was to download Chrome.

Have to agree. For an app so hyped to be so...poor, even compared with its rather rubbish predecessor is incredible.
Installed chrome, haven't been back.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

And that's what? A threat? A motivation? More reason not to use IE!

Yeah, not using IE11 is like disabling Windows 10 Updates.
That is good news.

Woah, thanks MS, two problems solved at once!

Microsoft said:
IE 11 .. will continue to be supported for the life of the operating system on which it is installed, including ... Windows 10.
Since Windows 10 is supposed to be the "last" version of Windows, that suggests we're stuck with IE11 until Microsoft kills Windows or goes out of business.
Reading the article, I don't think they're expecting you to use IE11 as your default browser; you just can't have an older version of IE installed.

Microsoft has today detailed why they chose to pull the Windows 10 November Update from Windows Update and the Media Creation Tool over the weekend. With the privacy elsewhere in Windows 10, this must have been a doozie

Essentially, this works like an incredibly fast signal lamp, flashing on and off in order to relay messages in binary code (1s and 0s). Side effects may include dizziness, headaches, and an irresistible urge to shake your booty

What dimwit came up with that idea?

The idea is that coders can now use Swift to build both a mobile app and the server code that drives the app from afar. Because a server is just like a big iPhone

An alcoholic beverage? Also two forms of dance?
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?
