I wish I had that kind of problem.

I wonder what this guy does that no one else can do, because $3 million is an insane salery for a programmer. Even programmers who've written AAA game engines don't earn anywhere near that.

Everything important that you need to know about living a successful life, you can get from a computer program. And don't break the build

 That's how I interpret it, yes.

So there is an API for successful life?
Women are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen; men are also composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, but in such proportions that force respect.

When it comes to gadgets, the Consumer Electronics Show is generally about showing off. There are of course exceptions, but most of the tech seen at CES is too gimmicky to sell to a broad set of consumers. This year, as usual, a few companies stood out for all the wrong reasons. The new stuff isn't all iPhones and VCRs

I want to detail a terse but complete description of a simple workflow for continuous delivery. Learn Git (at least enough to get going) in 21 minutes (if you read slow)
|
|
|
|
|
Does it occur to anyone that, given the number of tutorials on how to use Git, maybe that should say something about why not to use Git?

Maybe the Workflow is just simple enough that anyone can write a tutorial on it?

This is not a new prediction, it is a prediction I’ve been making verbally for a couple of years but I’ve never put it on the record so here goes:
'By 2022 it will be not be possible to get a professional programming job if you do not practice TDD routinely.'
I started making this prediction a couple of years ago when I said: “In ten years time”, sometimes when I’ve repeated the prediction I’ve stuck to 10-years, other times I’ve compensated and said 9-years or 8-years. I might be out slightly - if anything I think it will happen sooner rather than later, 2022 might be conservative. "Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future."

I am willing to bet that most of the IT managers in big companies do not even know what TDD stands for and I doubt that all of them will by 2022...
|
|
|
|
|
And for those that do, they have little idea if it is really occurring, or if the tests are being added after the fact. (what's our unit coverage percent?)

Complete bollocks.

I was thinking of using 'O RLY?' for the blurb, but I think that meme has worn itself out.
Nice thing about opinions though, everyone's got them, many of them silly.

Ehr, no. An opinion is something one forms. What's common is to present some random personal preference as an "opinion".
Statements like "without tech X you'll be out of" are indeed simply cow-dung. I'll bet a banana that there'll even be someone asking for VB6-programmers.

Potato, potato, but *that* is an opinion (as in a personal preference, etc).
But yeah, 2022 there will still be PL/1 developers happily clumping along somewhere. And VB6, and TDD, and whatever replaces TDD as THE. ONE. TRUE. WAY. Saying it will be a requirement for employment is just a licence to have people make fun of him.
