Good programmers think deeply about the issues at hand and design elegant solutions. There are plenty of these, running into hundreds if not thousands.
Great programmers think deeply about the issues at hand, and using their vast experience and intuition, re-purpose available programs. There isn't a single one of these I have met.

Many times developers choose to send data over the wire using a text encoding format such as JSON, XML or Base64
That got a chuckle out of me. Who here does AJAX (the "X" is a dead giveaway) with the native binary representation of Javascript variables? Heck, is it even possible?

As the company's mobile device strategy continues to disintegrate, Microsoft may feel compelled to push harder on Windows 10 adoption and paid services to prove it can survive without a viable smartphone—and that could be bad news for consumers. "Push it. Make the beats go harder."

I don't know how they could push 10 any harder. I've about stopped doing updates because every time I do I get that damn W10 nag icon back and it's getting harder and harder to get rid of.
The harder they push the more I will resist!

I found this one[^] but the name is slightly different.

That's the one. GWX Control Panel is another name for the product. I think the first version was "Console" and then as he added more features he updated the name.

Microsoft is revealing more details about how Bash on Windows 10 works, and the company's 'Drawbridge' pico-process work figures prominently. And then the marble falls into a bathtub that triggers a seesaw...
