The Certified Agile Leadership program, developed by the Scrum Alliance, aims to increase the effectiveness of leaders by providing a learning framework for developing agile leadership competencies. The second place I've seen "certified" and "agile" in the same sentence today
Edit: yeah, yeah. Cleaned up.

If they'd called it Agile Leadership Program Certified Accreditation then then we could have an Alpaca Stand-Up Scrum... which sounds like it could be fun (but in fact is not - like so much else of Agile)

It could be worse, they could be trying to give out Certified Leadership in Agile Processes certificates. 
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?

Web and mobile development company Netguru has published the results of an ongoing Web survey it's conducting, revealing that, on the mobile side of things, "the vast majority of coders are quite inexperienced." No one has 30 years experience developing for the iPhone?

Yeah but my CV on linkedin says I have 20 years experience with WPF and can make a watch thingy get you coffee!

I will officially have "30 years experience" for all things iWhatever in a mere 7 months from now, for in 1987 I came up with the first i-naming convention for products and/or services provided by Apple.
iHug = internal (then, later, international) HyperCard User Group; a 'service' officially sponsored by Apple.

Cool! It seems since the birth of the web, technology has been going through the vowels. Back in the 90's, everything started with an "e". I worked for a company called eLoyalty. You saw it everywhere. Apple has the "i", iPhone etc. I wonder when the letter "o" will get its chance. oMaps, oPhone, oMy! 
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Not surprised. The budget for mobile apps is pretty low and new grads are cheaper than experienced programmers

The open source Node.js community is "completely feral" and full of coders who "don't know what they're doing". But it is also an indicator of "what the next 15 years of development will be like". Presented without comment, but I'm sure others will have some

"It's completely feral, lots and lots of people hacking infrastructure code without knowing what they're doing - there are plenty of people using their stuff and building APIs within their companies, and guess what - it works, despite the fact it's pretty crazy."
House of cards. The sooner we get AI's to write our programs, the better.

Not if the AI's are created by the feral Node.js kiddies...

Well It's definitely something that starts with a 'C' and an 'F' anyway.

Various definitions of "feral cats" I found:
1. ... has been born into wildness or has not had human interaction for a significant period of time and is self-sufficient.
2. ... is unsocialized and tends to be fearful of people and keep a distance.
3. ... are the result of being abandoned or lost and left to fend for itself.
Apropos? I'm a (tangential) member of the node community, and at least #2 applies.

Researchers from Cambridge University have created a semiconductor assembly that blurs the line between electricity and light, and they think we can commercialize it to make optical spintronics — using electron spin in electronics — a reality. Like sunshine in a glass!
I'm pretty sure with all of that moderately high end physicspeak that it's not "5-10 years off"

In other words, whether the glass has 1/2 liquid light or none at all, since the remainder is air light, the glass is always full!
Well, except when the glass is stored in the dark cupboard...

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
