Is this another subtle way of promoting Windows 11?
Or is it me being a bit paranoic?
Not that I wouldn't agree with the fact of old hardware for devs...

Anybody that is even just barely self-aware would say "yes"...

Introducing the first company I ever worked for, which gave us wonderful Pentium Es with Windows XP. In 2012... up to 2016.

There is a global community of millions of developers building apps with .NET and helping other developers get started with .NET. Because the old ones were full of stuff being ignored

Ah, thank you for posting that. I needed something to get me to feel sleepy.

Well... after all the missuse of Excel as database in all possible combinations (see that Covid spread that lost data due to column overflow), Microsoft is probably the last in taking that approach.
On the other hand... rest in peace, excel... I will miss you.

SlashData's latest Developer Nation report looks at the popularity of programming languages and trends from the global developer community. Your mileage may vary
Math is hard = "JavaScript is now used by more than 16.4 million developers globally, says a survey of more than 19,000 coders"
C# almost equal to C/C++? As much as I like the language, I'm a little skeptical. Sceptical, even.

Developers typically only code in what's putting money in the bank. I maintain javascript code, and even if it puts money in the bank, I f*ckin hate doing it.

Given the offers I received lately, I'd say C is going very strong... there is a distinct lack of embedded developers, and not the IoT flavour of them.

Snipping Tool, the emoji picker, and other parts of Windows 11 are breaking Microsoft should have a stern talking-to with the company responsible
I'm assuming the icons still work

While those features may not be too much of an issue, I suspect anyone using Windows on a tablet without a keyboard may really feel the absence of the touch keyboard.
Notably including users of a MS Surface who didn't shell out the extra for the keyboard. Way to screw your own user's MS.

If Snipping Tools/Touch Keyboard fails, it's a bunch of trash!
Really, give some time to W11... i didn't test it yet.
