These days, one tool has essentially unlocked the world of game development for the masses. "Oh the games people play now. Every night and every day now"

That is exactly the point... being a game "code monkey" or game kid, doesn't make them developers at all.
Exactly the same as in many other technologies...
I wonder... how long will it take, until Q&A start having questions of "My game doesn't work, gimme code plzzz"?

Microsoft Learning GM Alison Cunard is looking to make earning more certifications easier for MCSE and MCSD certified professionals. Because *that* will make them so much more valuable

Quote: Microsoft streamlines MCSE and MCSD certifications,
So they're going to combine the Must Consult Someone Else and Must Consult Someone Dumb certs into a single Must Consult Someone Even Dumber cert? 
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?

Musk did more than hint at it. He suggested warming it up and creating / changing the atmosphere.

Sysadmins and devs, fresh from a weekend spoiled by last week's OpenSSL emergency patch, have another emergency patch to install. Recursion (n): See recursion
Yes, I totally stole their blurb. Because it is a work of art, and the best for the story.

That's OK, they stole it from, at least, K&R where the index entry for recursion references itself, and probably numerous other places too. According to Wikipedia, the earliest occurence was from Kerningham & Plauger's "Software Tools".
Another example, searching Google for recursion includes the result "Did you mean recursion?".

As Microsoft explained during a press conference ahead of the event, the so-called Windows Defender Application Guard insulates Windows 10 from untrusted browser sessions by running it in a container that is bound directly to the hardware. It's a container within a sandbox within a VM - welcome to Browserception!

Researchers from North Carolina State University and Samsung Electronics have found a way to boost the speed of computer applications by more than 9 percent. The improvement results from techniques that allow computer processors to retrieve data more efficiently. Which allows developers to be 9% lazier

The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health reports computer vision syndrome affects about 90% of the people who spend three hours or more a day at a computer, which means almost everyone in our industry is susceptible. "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."
Yes, you can do it until you need glasses.

Good thing I'm easily distracted and look out the window or leave the room so often. I can do that 'leave the room' thing because I work at home.

I was a baseball player and had very good vision. After about 5 years in the industry, my vision was 15/20. Now after 16 years in the industry, I sometimes just see blurs and in the summer I can't see anything when leaving work and walking through the parking lot on sunny days. I have made adjustments, but it definitely is a problem I'm experiencing and getting away from the computer does wonders.

Get a better monitor or get your eyes looked at - I've been in front of a computer for 10+ hours a day for over 30 years and the only deterioration I can put down to age.
