A researcher has found a bug that allows anyone to impersonate Microsoft corporate email accounts, making phishing attempts look credible and more likely to trick their targets. Good thing they never email anyone
"The bug, according to Kokorin, only works when sending the email to Outlook accounts." <-- Oh, phew. Good thing no one uses those.
/sigh... Microsoft...

A colleague told a story of how he once broke the entire Office division’s ability to check in code because he accidentally checked in a syntax error to the script that is used to verify that your proposed change has satisfied all the pre-submit requirements such as passing static analysis and unit testing.

They did find two scenarios in which human-driven cars were safer: at dawn/dusk and when turning. Going forward and going in reverse?
But (more) seriously folks - hearing they're less safe when turning does not give me confidence in them.
I also would really like to see some numbers for autonomous driving when the road markings are not clearly visible (aka winter driving, or even spring with the sand on the side of the road)

Since the rise of the internet, software developers have commanded big salaries and valuable perks. But something has shifted since the pandemic, and the U.S. now employs fewer software developers than it did in 2018. Time to start a charity to save the endangered developer

I've definitely interacted with an LLM driven helper chat bot, maybe a few of them, just in the last month or two.
Amongst other stuff... I've had to talk to Amazon about subscriptions and refunds, ISPs about new service provision, and an insurer about benefits/coverage details and in/out of network providers.
The biggest indicators for me were near-perfect spelling and grammar along with not being able to help without transferring me to a person. I don't think 80% of people would have noticed. In one instance I'm pretty sure the service provider was aiding the subterfuge by giving the chatbot an Indian name. I found that a little bit humorous. "No you are not talking to a robot! You're talking to a support agent in another country to whom we've outsourced our support staff."
But all of them worked more or less flawlessly and were at most only 1/2 as frustrating as the phone systems where you have to repeatedly press buttons or keep saying agent, person, real person, live agent, etc to get a warm body.

A long-term trend is happening across large and small companies, and that is the convergence of developers, those who code apps, and DevOps, those who maintain the systems on which apps run and developers code. Becoming DevDevOps?
Maybe someone brighter than I can explain his point to me - I thought DevOps was already the merger of developers and operations. It's kind of right there in the name.

Skimmed it pretty good... Yeah I think you're right and they're "ATM machining" it.
I think one of my coworkers put it best with a Lion King meme. Anymore, the responsibility of developers is "everything the light touches".
Personally I think the reason for that is you need a developer to understand everything that is going on and even at that you need one that somewhat approximates a hybrid network engineer. The shops where the infrastructure side of the house understands the ins/outs of the applications/APIs exist, but I'm thinking they are very likely the exception.
