This article provides a summary of how we currently see the “cloud computing and DevOps” space, which focuses on fundamental architectural patterns, realisation of patterns in technology frameworks, and the design processes and skills that a software engineering must cultivate. 200% if your recommended daily dose of buzzwords
And "Chaos Engineering" wins my award for best tech name (and I'm surprised no one has used it before)

My new method is going to be called OpDevs.
Just take all the dumb@rse ideas that come along, and implement them in reverse.
Hell, it can't hurt more than the dumb@rse ideas themselves!

Expecting sysadmins to be able to write complex applications will probably at least fail fast. As a dev it's easy enough to install/run a server until something breaks horribly; making that flavor of koolaid appear to work for a while. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

I get"MIT said: MIT Technology Review is currently unavailable. We are working on it and we apologize for the inconvenience.
But the reasons for that could prove to be more interesting than the article itself.

A paper published Monday in a well-known science journal begins with the following sentence: “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a pair of grape hemispheres exposed to intense microwave radiation will spark, igniting a plasma.” A universally acknowledged truth indeed... but what causes this microwave marvel? Grant money well spent. Now on to putting forks in the microwavev.

Sparks are nice. Personally I'd like grant money to study what they put in marshmallows to make them swell up in a microwave. I'd rub that formula on like suntan lotion at the beach and look like Arnold the Terminator after a few minutes in the sun. Might even have uses that put viagra out of business. Now thats a grant that would have some ROI to it.

Over the last few months, we’ve seen lots of thoughtful and passionate discussion throughout the community, on the blog, in Developer Community, and a bunch of social media sites. Through these previews, we were able to share some of the UI changes in this release. Aw, look. They do listen.
And of course - NEW ICONS!

Really? A major release, and they changed the f*ckin title bar? And added new icons? And that's news?
Who exactly are they listening to?

I don't know, but I'm guessing a beret or turtleneck are involved.

It's "The Way of the Future!"
Unless you're not a complete bleeding idiot.
I've lost count of the times, in recent years, I've wondered why I've even bothered updating stuff.
"If it ain't broke" is very firmly a thing of the saner and stronger past.

Cramming the title bar to save vertical space!
I develop on a portrait mode 16:9 screen and have oodles of vertical space. 
Everyone should do this - I should work for Microsoft to enforce portrait mode working and thereby reduce title clutter. I hate title clutter!

In an effort to allay fears, the Linux Foundation today launched Enabling Linux in Safety Applications (ELISA), an open source project comprising tools intended to help companies build and certify Linux-based systems whose failure could result in loss of human life, significant property damage, or environmental damage.
