Bing, at one time the Internet's favorite punchline, no longer sounds like such a joke. Bing? What's that? Guess I'll just Google it to find out.

Well they did jam it down the throats of the IE crowd (who probably don't know any better).

It's easy to win if you never mention the most serious contender and ignore it as if it doesn't exist, and this from a guy that works at Xamarin. 
I seriously disagree that JavaScript is a language that every developer should master. Hate and curse, but not master.

Every web developer must master it, whether they like it or not.

Cortana in Windows 10 will be now able to connect to Office 365 to help you accomplish more at work. Yes. I know I'm working on a document. No, I don't want help with that.

Jeremy Kratz has addressed the taboo subject of burnout as a developer. He describes what many developers appear to experience, with the hope more discussion around the issue can help us collectively acknowledge its causes. "They call it the burnout factor, and only the good die young"

Oh how it burns...
As Daniel H. Pink[^] put it - the secret to motivation (which is the antidote to burn out) is a combination of autonomy, purpose and mastery.
Autonomy means being able to make decisions about what you are doing. It can be a macro decision like the language or architecture to use or a smaller decision on tools, coding standards, even icons and fonts to use.
Purpose is simply that whatever you are doing has some meaning. We need an idea of what things will look like when we are done, or how what we are doing will improve things.
Mastery is the feedback you get from getting better at things. This is one of the major motivations for all software projects but especially the open source or utility software side of things.
If you take away any of these three (as the examples in that article do) then motivation plummets.

Burnout and Depression (and other stress related health issues) are serious health issues that need to be taken care of seriously by real health professionals.
They are no different than other sickness, except that it has a stigma of the "mental illness".
