In my opinion, overengineering has killed more products than the absence of good development practices. "I just want your extra time and your...Kiss"

The author mentions microservices as an example. I'd also nominate dependency injection. But during my career, I came across very few examples of overengineering. Maybe it's becoming a thing.
An article linked about five posts above is a review of one by another author, who defends the SOLID principles. Although they're excellent guidelines, following them indiscriminately would also lead to overengineering. Thankfully, that rarely seems to occur in practice!

"Microsoft — a name and reputation known around the world" I think that kid might go places
OK, I can't really add to the punchline beyond that excerpt from the video.

The solution to our puzzle about Euler’s number explains why e pops up in situations that involve optimality. eeeeeee!

After all e equals 3, which is the perfect number. Also pi equals 3, and gravitational acceleration is 10, which is 3 times 3.
Yes I am an engineer, why are you asking?

Let’s take a look at some of the new language features. In case you missed the other "new stuff" articles
Yeah, not news-news, but news-ish. And stuff I'm thankful for.

In the valiant effort to combat imposter syndrome and gatekeeping, the programming world has taken a bad turn down a blind alley by celebrating incompetence. And here I thought people were just celebrating me

With Visual Studio 2022 when you create a new console project based on .NET 6, the Hello World source code generated is now a simple one-line program Whoa - slow down. I can only type that example code so fast

Pffft! They missed a trick - add a global static using [^] for System.Console - which can be defined in the project file[^], so no "code" involved - and the code becomes:
WriteLine("Is this modern enough yet?");

The new group will coordinate efforts across branches in an effort to figure out what, exactly, is flying around up there. The truth might be out there, because it probably isn't in there

Quote: The Pentagon forms new department to watch and study UFOs Is that an implied confirmation that we are not alone?
Or just another excuse to waste a big amount of $$$ just because?

publicity stunts... some people are pretty sure those occasional visual artifacts on fighter jet's cameras are UFO and some politician too and want "deeper investigation".
Well, that's my take on it!

We're nearly two months out from the public release of Windows 11, and Microsoft is still slowly updating bits and pieces of the operating system that weren't quite ready in early October. It looks like you're trying to waste time with useless upgrades. Would you like help with that?

If an allegedly exclusive partnership deal in the Windows on Arm PC space ends soon, will (and should) anyone care? MIPS and Alpha developers feel their pain
OK, that was .NET, but it's a slow news day, and my brain is slower still.
