The role of the developer has risen in importance in many organizations, so it's high time to ensure developers take security seriously. "There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity."

It is an article that cannot be taken seriously. We'd need two dev-machines - one to write code, one to look onto MSDN.

You know what would be even more secure?
If we took away all the computers in the company and replaced them with stacks of Hollerith cards and banned punches from the premise. 
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?

to sum it up:
1. no internet access (msdn, cp and especially other dev sites)
2. no email
3. no repo (he mentioned git, but I believe others are also forbidden).
4. no admin rights - good luck debugging your iis app 
Beside that he didn't explain how to transfer your working code between dev machine and the other one with repository (don't you know usb is highly unsafe?), what else remains?
Paper notebook and pencil? And not very sharp one as it is too dangerous? 
The sad part is if someone take this guy seriously it may cause more trouble than it is worth...

If you work somewhere that anyone in a position of power takes InfoWorthless seriously, it's time to run for the hills...

There are differing opinions on Microsoft’s new ‘mobile-first, cloud-first’ strategy. Satya Nadella’s vision for the software giant has resulted in the unshackling of Office from all things Windows and into the competition's warm embrace for example. This of course is in sharp contrast of Apple and Google’s attitude towards each other and towards Microsoft. "We got a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand"

The tech giant is going to be suffering from a New Year’s hangover today though, as the latest figures show the tiled OS has tumbled to its lowest usage share since March 2014. That's it, *this* must be the Year of Linux

Dead link. This[^] appears to be the replacement; but reads as more WTF NetMarketshare; than Win8 is elephanted.

Yeah, even the first article smelled a little fishy, as they were reporting that NT market share went up to 9% or something equally silly.

Being a leader within your organization requires you to master the art of motivating and coaching people, which isn’t all that different from, say, programming a person. So, I'm just someone's buggy implementation of an employee?

Is confidence in Moore’s Law dwindling? Is it dead already? Or did the concept actually exist prior to Gordon Moore’s coined theory and has continually evolved over time as it will continue to do long past the end of a silicon-centric era? "But, you see, I never studied law"

Software engineers should write because it promotes many of the same skills required in programming. A core skill in both disciplines is an ability to think clearly. The best software engineers are great writers because their prose is as logical and elegant as their code. If only there were some handy site that would provide that opportunity

Pop Country (I'm a bit of a poser in this genre as I was groomed on power chord rock).
But now at 53, I gotta do something.

any women can program a person, after marriage and they act just they tell them to! Simple and easy, whereas writing applications. Omg, I don't wanna repeat that nightmare.
