In a recent livestreamed .NET Community Standup on YouTube, Microsoft put up a slide indicating Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a "community run project," prompting an audience question about whether the tech was dead (Microsoft said no) and a subsequent Twitter uproar among some developers who insist the opposite. Not 'dead', just 'done'?

The future is WASM.
Until it dies in 5-10 years as well.

Years? I'm expecting 5-10 months until it's "legacy" code.

In this post, we’ll see the benefits of using WASM outside the browser and its potential as a transformative technology on the server. It's not just awesome, it's WASM!
I'm not sure if I could have come up with a more lame blurb, but that's what you get for today.

Gen Z workers are 10 times more likely to feel ashamed about technical issues than their older colleagues, HP survey says. The kids aren't all right

That article is a hodgepodge of non-thinking ranging from helping coworkers with tech problems to not knowing how to help themselves with tech problems to Googling for the answer to young vs. old and young being gurus (really???) to differences in pay between young and old.
What a mess. I am soooo ashamed I can't make sense of it! Oh wait, I'm not a GenZ'er!

first thought was that the linked article took wrong meaning from survey,
and that also the survey created a wrong meaning.
both not helped as original question asked not provided on survey results.
New workers already gonna feel shame for being the new workers. So feels like the tech angle just a cover of that.
Older people in general have either learned don't show emotions and ask, or gotten over that shame part to be able to ask.
And the young being correctly taught its ok to say you not ok, which leads to higher survey of saying they feel shame.
plus they coming into 10/20/30 year old tech they never seen before. Why they still using outlook. how do I add signature to email. things that they wouldn't have though to do before work.

When will scientists get their heads out of their collective rear ends and realize that simulations and models are NOT the real world. Yes, simulations and models are useful but unless the results match the real world they're 100% useless.

Amazon Web Services Inc., Microsoft Corp., Meta Platforms Inc. and GPS navigator maker TomTom NV today launched a new industry group focused on making map data more accessible. That's strange - there seems to be one major mapping website missing from that list

Incoming support for Modula-2 in GCC, and a new Gitlab repository for its descendant Oberon, shows that the Wirthian family of programming languages remains livelier than you might think. Great news for that one developer thinking of using it

Microsoft announced today that a future Microsoft Edge update would permanently disable the Internet Explorer 11 desktop web browser on some Windows 10 systems in February. "This is the end, my only friend, the end"
And by "friend", I mean, "browser that caused me to swear more often than almost any other piece of software". But "friend" is shorter.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/16/marc-benioff-says-newer-salesforce-employees-are-less-productive.html
Quote: How do we increase the productivity of our employees at salesforce? New employees (hired during the pandemic in 2021 & 2022) are especially facing much lower productivity. Is this a reflection of our office policy? Are we not building tribal knowledge with new employees without an office culture? Are our managers not directly addressing productivity with their teams? Are we not investing enough time into our new employees? Do managers focus enough time and energy on onboarding new employees & achieving productivity? is coming as a new employee to salesforce too overwhelming? Asking for a friend. (Im leaving this open ended to get the broadest level of response.)
The message prompted a variety of comments.
Some reacted with an emoji stating “THIS” alongside an up arrow. Others chose emojis that read “WFH” or “citation needed.” Dozens went with a standard emoji known as thinking face.
