Let's be honest, this is a blatant attempt by Google to monopolize online advertising.

I didn't read the whole thing. First there was nothing new in it, yes they got an interview with the person guilty of running the project, but he was spewing the same BS google has been since they initially floated the idea a the clusterFLOCtrot a few years ago.
Anyone interviewing on this subject while not touching on the fact that we've got decades of research proving you can't actually anonymize large sets of user data or that despite all it's claims otherwise the spyware advertising complex can't actually deliver ads that are any more relevant than the sort that would go up on major network TV stations or mass market magazines.
Print advertisers who'd put ads for telescopes in my astronomy magazines have done a better job of serving me relevant ads than every internet advertiser on the face of the planet.
Whenever I'm forced to use a non-decrappified connection what I get are:
- 25% Gross out ads.
- 25% The same half dozen clickbait subjects they've been running for the last 20+ years.
- 25% Random mass market ads no better than what I'd get via mass market legacy advertising.
- 20% A single random company buying 100% of the non-bottom feeder (first 2 categories) slots for days or weeks at a time; spammerly on Youtube was exceptionally obnoxious at doing this.
- 4.99..% Being relentlessly stalked by a seller for a product that I'd either already bought, decided not to buy after looking at, or was only looking at because someone else asked for my thoughts.
- Once: Being relentlessly stalked by a reseller for a product that was on my "shortlist" (but since that list consisted of the 2 products at the performance tier by the 2 companies in the market, that's not saying much) where everyone was selling at (enforced???) MSRP. In this case stalkerco was rapidly excluded from being a potential seller.

Don't forget the Walmart advertisement for the product you just bought from Amazon.

I guess it makes a change from sending them to Atlanta:
22 January 2016
A couple in Atlanta say they are getting visits from people who have lost their mobile phones and been wrongly directed to their home by phone-finding apps.
Or to Las Vegas:
January 13, 2013
In the past two years the 59-year-old retiree has been pestered by people showing up at all hours of the day and night at his house, demanding their phones. They’ve yelled, shown him evidence, called the police – sworn that their phone is in his house.

In my view, the number of pull requests is an important indicator of how much people are willing and capable of contributing to your software in the open source domain. Because-as we all know-all software is on GitHub

How many of those pulls are really that useful?

I find it interesting - thanks.
Although, GitHub usage doesn't translate well to the enterprise. C# is much more than 5% there, and there are also languages which have zero usage on GitHub but are still widely used by businesses: Cobol, PL/I, Rexx, ABAP, RPG,...

The top soft skills that IT professionals should focus on are communication, problem-solving, and project management, according to a new study. Great news! A lot of me is soft.

that article is click bait. Seriously, when was the last time you, as a developer or an IT guy - whatever the elephant that means - was asked about project management?
True story - after an overly long and difficult development project management decided it would be useful to have a project review - what went wrong, what went right, and how do we do better? #1 issue - asking for estimates and a schedule before requirements. Heads nodded.
Next project - same issue, except this time the entire department got dinged for not meeting the mythical schedule. It's probably a good thing the company is generous with vacation.
Articles like this should go in the writer's list of things not to write.
