I have been told exactly that, no sarcasm. In fact, several people have told me that after doing programming with me, they can't imagine going back to the "old ways" of thinking and doing development.

Microsoft has put its spin on Google's Chromecast with a device that lets people mirror what's on their PC, laptop or smartphone wirelessly onto their TV. "On the big screen they showed us a sun"

But, I thought they were gonna stop supporting Windows 7 next January-ish?!
There went $27... And I was gonna upgrade to Win 7 Ultimate, too!

The popular Linux and Unix shell has a serious security problem that means real trouble for many web servers. Fortunately, a patch -- as source code -- is available. We're not even safe where we live anymore!

Still no "Critical security hole" in OpenVMS?

yes, right... EVERY other shell is well tested and without security holes...

From DevOps to cloud to agile (and nine more), following at least some of these development trends means you're keeping with the times.
Mobile, agile and DevOps. Guy really went out of the box on this one.

Here are 12 attributes that characterize the new mode of application development beginning to make inroads in enterprises:
And sadly, all 12 of those attributes are the wrong "modes" (though I am willing to remove "mobile" from that count, but what he says about "mobile" is all wrong, IMO.)
And I wonder why I cry at night when I think of where software development is heading.

13 Buzzword compliant.
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?

Microsoft is a company of services and devices and they use these products to create experiences, as Nadella puts it. Cortana has the ability to unify these experiences in a compelling way; to be a bridge between many Microsoft islands. In Windows 9, Cortana will play a key role in being a useful assistant in helping you be more productive.

I like Cortana.
I know I'm just scratching the surface of what it can be used for, but things like setting reminders and alarms by voice makes it worth it to me. Also tracking my flight has been useful. Well, the your flight has landed message isn't so useful (thanks, I think I figured that out), although I guess it could be if you were tracking someone else's flight.
The only thing that bugs me is the commercials. They should use Cortana's voice. It feels dishonest It's just like marketing to change the voice.

We in IT have to realize that only users get to decide whether ‘it’s fixed’. 'Works on my machine'? Wait, that's four words

"it compiles"
should be enough to get into trouble in my part of the wood.
I'd rather be phishing!

Yeah, we had an architect at one old job that would check broken code in so often we started calling him, "It compiles in Notepad"

"it's fixed." is 3 words, not 2!
"It works" works better in regards to the "it" that IT made once again to work.
(does that sentence work...?)
|
|

|

I don't agree. It's either fixed or it's not. The user doesn't determine that any more than the IT worker.
Simply don't say "it's fixed" if you don't know, or if it doesn't apply. So, if it's a performance problem, ask, "I've improved [insert this or that] and it's doing [whatever] faster. What do you think?"

Of the adjustment I've made, the new processing time will allow for your coffee to brew more strongly.
Either that, or sizzle your bacon more crisper
If you'd like, I can adjust it so both can be achieved.

You're right. (Never admit someone else is right, it destroys your credibility, and therefore, you are wrong, it's not 3 words, it's 2.)

New job listing data shows that demand for Python developers is up significantly. "And now for something completely different"

It's too bad the whole Python 3 fiasco is killing this nice dynamic language.
