Yup
KLoC
has been
ridiculous
forever,
but that
never stops
management
(and others)
from counting it
because
they need
something
to count.

Mercurial, what GitHub should've been.
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

That may seem extreme. After all, few companies juggle as much code as Google or Facebook do today. But in the near future, they will.
In the spirit of an article a few posts below, one day all software we write will look like this:
using Google;
namespace company.name.someapp
{
class TheApp
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ExecuteTheCode(GoogleCodeSearch("What my boss wants me to do"));
}
}
}
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?

From PCs to mobile to cloud, the technology industry has slowed down, so developers can digest all the new stuff we have. Because everything is fine and works perfectly now!

Expect a tick up in the area of security and privacy.
The industry does not slow down, even if some major corporations lag as corporations usually do.

Full Stack Overflow developers work almost entirely by copying and pasting code from Stack Overflow instead of understanding what they are doing. Instead of researching a topic, they go there first to ask a question hoping people will just give them the result. More codez plz!

The typical developer dress code isn’t known for being chic: the t-shirt and jeans combination are the epitome of comfort for most, yet some companies seem to want to change the rules. "Come, as you are, as you were, as I want you to be"

I'd like someone to tell me how wearing a suit and tie makes me better at my job - it's 19th century thinking in a 21st century world.
Fine, perhaps, if you're public facing but most developers would not be let loose anywhere near the public...

It's pretty darn smug considering they can't do it themselves.

We just do business casual at the company I work for. There are people from other major companies walking through all the time though, so that may have something to do with it.
I don't even see higher management in suits, it's basically all business casual.

Harumph.
'Business casual' at my employer means jeans, athletic shoes, and almost anything on top except for T-shirts. Managers and other PHB's tend to forego the jeans. The only time you see jackets and ties are when people are meeting with customers.
This is quite a change from 30 years ago, when I first worked for this outfit as a contractor. I was told before my first day on-site that 'Gentlemen wear jackets and ties. You may take the jacket off if you are at your desk, but please put it back on if you leave your desk.'
I deliberately dress somewhat down (Florida shirts during the summer) to avoid anyone getting the idea to make me a manager.

I hope that doesn't mean what I think it means? That really is casual! 
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

Sigh. Managers and PHB's are fond of khakis and other casual pants that aren't denim.
Although, as often as they screw over the serfs, not wearing pants would make it more convenient for them...

I dress business casual because Docker style pants are much more comfortable and cooler than jeans. I will admit, unless I have a meeting, there's a pretty good chance my face won't be clean shaven. I'll wait and shave when I have something important to attend!

I have spent my career since the mid '80s in 'manufacturing' environments: food, paper and pulp, and utilities.
When I started, it was shirt, tye, dress pants. To go into the mill, we put on safety foot wear and a lab coat. I have always worn collared shirt and dress pants; the tyes eventually went.
I have seen male co-workers come in with sandals; I didn't think it was appropriate then and still don't. I have also seen many women wear skirts that are too high and blouses that are too low. One got upset when she was told flip-flops were not appropriate.
When in a work environment, it isn't just about you - think about how your co-workers may react.
