Such a universe wouldn't be parallel, it would be upside down and backwards.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Does this guy live in a parallel universe? Are we speaking about the same Microsoft? 
I think it was historically true but it ceased to be true somewhere around the Windows 8 timeframe. At that point, they began to lose contact with their customer base, even including their key corporate customer base from what I have been able to see.
Oh, and I just realised that Microsoft have announced this for operating systems that are still supported. Well, together with losing touch with what their real, actual customers want it seems that they have also lost the ability to remember and stick to long term published strategies.

Through trial and error, I found that the best way to increase a new software engineer's productivity is by gradually increasing the difficulty and independence level at which they operate. To help you zone out

One of the worst enemies of productivity is boredom... and that's even more true for people like us

That's a great article. It speaks of pairing up with another developer where the Junior is paired with a Senior. However, this works the same way if you just try to build an app and then Google everything. Trying to write a new app will put you in the ZPD and then Google can help you through the zone.

The best is when the two developers are strong in different areas, so there is a role change depending on what technology is being touched in that moment.

Yes! A reference to "Enterprise!" I quite like that show. I'm actually watching the 3 episode "The Forge" right now.

It may be another 100,000 years until the giant red star Betelgeuse dies in a fiery explosion, according to a new study by an international team of researchers. Or it's trying to sneak up on us!
Did someone say its name three times?

I think I'll pass to wait for the explosion.

New research from Microsoft shows that productive employees won't be enough for businesses to remain innovative. Uh...yeah, can't think of anything. Sorry.

That all depends on how you define "productive." If by "productive" one means following all the forms, procedures, practices, and spending countless hours each day working on bug tickets, then yeah, what do they expect after all the creativity has been sucked out of us?
Conversely, if "productive" means having 10-20 hours a week where one can discuss, collaborate and experiment with creative out-of-the-box ideas, well, that's where innovation begins.

Windows 10 users are expressing frustration about the most recent software update that caught many users by surprise, shutting down their system with little warning (assuming they didn’t have it set to do otherwise) and installing unwanted apps. It looks like you are trying to use your computer. Want help avoiding that?

'struth. It's gone past the "Are they even trying" phase into the "Actively working against themselves" phase.

That’s where most enterprise organizations stand with respect to software testing: guilty of both too few AND too many tests, overexposed to risk and unable to pivot fast So: stop it! Also: get busy!
