I'm not talking about advancement. I'm just talking about salary. I know many people who do more than most of the rest of the team combined. If they get paid more, then they've earned it. Gender is not the issue.
As for advancing, what you said is also true for some. But I'm just talking about people in the same work category.

In a good world full of good people I could not help but agree.

Let's not even worry about the nepotism . . .
I'm in a rather cynical mood this afternoon, but only because so much lousy stuff goes on everywhere and all the time. Why, if I had my way I'd

Hehe, thanks for mentioning me - yes and no. Yes, always makes me happy to share my thoughts (otherwise I would not blog), however, no I would rather wish for ASP.NET Core to become a little bit more lightweight (and the tooling to become better).
Anyway, I think with VS 2019 (at least after a couple of sessions) it seems that tooling is now definitely on the right track and .NET Core 3 was also a good step in the right direction. Let's see where this is going...

I've been using ASP.NET Core 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 for over a year and haven't run into anywhere near the issues this guy has. It's not perfect, but it's a massive improvement on what's already out there.

I've been using .Net Core for the last 2 years. 2.0 was a big step forward.
The biggest issues I've had are dealing with dependencies, and with updates to libraries coming out very frequently, it can be a bit of a minefield, but other than that my experience has been almost entriely positive.

It’s promoting a yardstick called “quantum volume,” which it claims is doubling every year—an equivalent to Moore's Law in conventional computing. "Do you guys put the word quantum in front of everything?"

A program called Windows Exploit Suggester - Next Generation, or WES-NG, has been released that will list the known vulnerabilities affecting a Windows installation, any exploits that are available, and what security updates are needed to patch the bugs. "Gotta catch 'em all!"

Linus Torvalds announced the stable release of Linux 5.0. This release comes with AMDGPU FreeSync support, Raspberry Pi touch screen support and much more. Now even more ready for the year of etc.
"I’d like to point out (yet again) that we don’t do feature-based releases, and that ‘5.0’ doesn’t mean anything more than that the 4.x numbers started getting big enough that I ran out of fingers and toes.". Don't ever stop being Linus...

Today, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) approved WebAuthn, a new authentication standard that aims to replace the password as a way of securing your online accounts. We're just going to hard-code everyone to 123456 now?

Quote: At its core, WebAuthn is an API that allows websites to communicate with a security device to let a user log into their service. This security device can range from a FIDO security key that you simply plug into a USB port on your computer to a more complex biometric device that allows for an additional level of verification. The important thing is that WebAuthn is more secure than the weak passwords people end up using for most websites, and it’s simpler than having to remember a string of characters in the first place.
In other words... we are going to be forced to buy more stuff and make someone rich.

I think the biggest problem is not really the "weak password" of the user, but the "weak authentication of the sites".

So, if you want to get to all of person X's accounts, just steal their authentication device. Brilliant.
