Renowned tech analyst Mary Meeker has delivered her influential annual Internet Trends report, emphasising the rise of mobile interfaces in transforming the way we communicate and interact. "We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives"
Yeah, I use that one too much. I just love the movie that much.

$5.4M plan to help open source funds OpenSSL, OpenSSH, and Network Time Protocol. Barn door closing, shame about the horses

Other than security audit, the foundation better vet through the 2 full time developers that they do not have links to NSA!

Shame really - the money would be better directed to LibreSSL. The OpenBSD chaps have a great track record on code quality, while the OpenSSL chaps...
LibreSSL[^]
and in particular...

Microsoft is the latest technology giant preparing to jump into the wearables market, with plans to offer a sensor-rich smartwatch that measures heart rate and synchs with iPhones, Android phones and Windows Phones, Forbes has learned. Two day battery life. Wow. Does it come with Kinect?

Why are these companies trying to bring back the watch? Ugh. Let... it... die...

Well they are trying to get into every other market why not that one.

In a move that appears designed to provoke widespread questions, the anonymous managers of the TrueCrypt open-source encryption project abruptly pulled the plug on the effort without explanation. I guess we're supposed to decrypt the reason?

WHY?!?!?

Improved defaults make the version control system much easier to use for existing users and newbies alike. Now with even more... something (Ease of use for new users?)
I'm sure there will be a few hundred intro articles along shortly.

A small, yet powerful framework, designed for building applications across all XAML platforms. Its strong support for MV* patterns will enable you to build your solution quickly, without the need to sacrifice code quality or testability. MVVM WPF, now PCL, FWIW. yw

Great MVVM framework, finally 2.0 is out (I've only tried alpha 2)!

Developers are tinkering with how the language deals with data structures, data types, and memory allocation. Performance of any sort would be welcome

For the sake of the argument, can we agree that stress and insanity are bad things? Awesome. Welcome to programming. "Computer science... differs from physics in that it is not actually a science."

If he's trying to be funny, he failed. He sounds like a wannabe coder who cannot apprehend with logic and reason.
I completely disagree with the diatribe; the challenge and the intrigue of the coding bug bit me over twenty years ago. I'm not ever doing anything else.
I learn new things every day I code.
I understand more about design and modeling the more I do.
I push myself in ways I hadn't considered when meeting new challenges.
I work from home, have for half of my career.
I get paid well - really well - better than almost all of my higher educated friends.
Coding Rocks.
If you think it sucks, you should stop (and stop whining about it). It's a minefield of ifs, ands, and nots, and I am proudly going to code until they put me in the ground.

I think that's it exactly. I included it because I think just about everyone here would (possibly violently) disagree with his core argument. And just about everything else about the article.

No. Without stress, we would never grow. A baby stresses its muscles to be able to learn to rock, then crawl, walk, run and jump.
Mentally, stress does the same thing. It takes repetition to learn a new concept, for dendribes to grow in our brain enabling us to think new thoughts.
And insanity? What would the world be without van Gogh?
Methinks the author doesn't want to stress his brain; he is happy living in oblivion.
