To ensure this experience is as good as possible, we have been working on optimizing Visual Studio to handle solutions that contain large numbers of .NET 5 and .NET Core projects. You can move on up from 'Hello world' now
"We have also seen a decrease of up to 25% in crashes reported due to resource exhaustion." <- And there was much rejoicing...

Let me guess. They run GC more often now?

Let me ask you a question: How much value do you think your source code has? Enough rope, as they say
If source code isn't valuable, try writing a program without it

I didn't know when I wrote my first article. I killed an entire company with my first article; it was on UNDU, before CodeProject. If printed, less than two pages worth.
The company was "ExceptionalMagic"; they sold a package that would give Delphi users the exact file and line of their exception, like VB already did. And I wrote an article, explaining the same, using the map file (a debug file) to map the memory location to a disk-location. It was a pricey product, and I gave the source code away. Along with some explanation on how it worked.
And added a bloody large bug that only a beginner could introduce, causing any app to use it to take minutes to shut down. In Delphi, you don't delete the first item of the list to clear it. If you delete the last item, all oke. But deleting the first item means reallocating the memory and copying the damn list. Took five minutes on our software on shutdown and some stern looks before I realized my mistake.
Dunno how large the company was and dunno what it was worth. I don't wanna know either, I was young and there was code.
..later on, I progressed to a 14.000 euro bug. But that's another story entirely

Microsoft calls Viva "the first EXP built for the digital era," and it's here to help people have a healthier work life. In-office bartender?
Or for Chris, I guess a sommelier?

So this is the official excuse for the Office 365 productivity statistics? They need all the data to help us from ourselves helping us to have a healthier work life and a better balance?

The opening sentence to the article:
Quote: Microsoft Viva is a new platform from Microsoft that aims to improve the employee experience.
There's a better (although maybe not easier) solution: higher better programmers to make the applications to begin with. So far as I can tell, MicroSloth has been affirmatively avoiding this particular pathway.

Alas, its just that I've always sucked at spelling and spellcheckers, as we well know, don't help much.
I will add that I had my highest HS grad average and University GPA's when I spent more time with the appropriate "herbal stimulants".
Some places offer nice perks - like free snack food, meals, etc., and so this could be added in with the rest. Good for employee solidarity and labor relations.

The U.S. Navy's “UFO patents” sound like they've been ripped from a science fiction novel. Good, because I can think of one reality that needs engineering

When someone names an effect after themselves, it's time to be skeptical. (When nobody but that person sees the effect...)

The Rust systems programming language is still in its infancy, having only released the first stable version of the language in 2015, but that hasn’t stopped it from rising to the top of developer charts. It never sleeps
