Of course I don't lob my code at them like a hand grenade. Too unreliable.
I prefer to line my testers up against a wall and spray them with code bullets.

At today's Google I/O developer conference keynote, Anil Sabharwal, Google's director of Photos, announced Google Photos, which is designed to help users organize, store, edit and share their photos and videos. And I'm sure they won't be searched, analyzed, and cataloged

What are the factors that can influence team members and their coding abilities? How can an agile framework breakdown in terms of produced software quality? We investigate academic literature to find the results. "Works on my machine"

Aristotle wrote: We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
I guess those programmers aren't that good!

Well, based on another recent Insider post, Agile and sprints promote a culture of working on the low hanging fruit and leaving the hard stuff, the stuff where architecture and good coding practices actually matters, for later, or never. Then you hire someone like me to come in and tell you that what the previous "talent" shop has done is garbage and has to be redone from scratch. Or worse, band-aided at 3x or more the cost of starting from scratch.
I have seen this over and over and over. And the funny thing is, where do I see this over and over and over?

I would call that a list of popular theories about programming that aren't secret, or necessarily correct, but make good for clickbait if you put the word "secret" in the title

True.
Still, hype aside, rookie programmers will learn something useful.

Like clockwork, Google lifted the veil on Android M at its I/O developer conference today, an event that's traditionally served as the company's launchpad for its mobile OS updates. Because no one has upgraded to L yet

Microsoft has said that Windows 10 will be released this Summer and according to the current roadmap, the middle of July is targeted for signoff of the new OS, according to two insiders familiar with the company's plans. Just in time for your summer vacation (so you don't have to help people install it)

The best part about statistics is that there are so many of them. The article below this one states that there were 2.8bn internet users in 2014 and the total is growing at 8%/year; which gives a 2015 number of only 3 billion.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Futurist Ray Kurzweil has made headlines with his provocative yet often accurate predictions, like that a computer would beat a human in chess (already happened) or that self-driving cars would take us everywhere (starting to happen). "The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed."
OK, the headline is pretty (I hate the term) click-baity, and it's Kurzweil's usual schtick, but here you go.

The problem with his predicition is that he assumes we can continue our "business as usual" despite the fact that our current lifestyle is everything but sustainable. We're already exploiting the planet more than it can stand, and there is no sign of slowing down. Therefore, I think by the middle of the 21st century, we will have done so much damage to our ecosphere that we finally start to know the consequences of our malpractice, and the bottlenecks we faced but always ignored and denied will eventually become a serious threat to civilisation and our species overall: The end of the oil age and the lack of mature alternatives in place to cover our ever growing hunger for energy because we bet on fossile fuels for too long, overcrowding of the planet, climate change and eco-refugees, deplation of resources that lead to a beginning phosphor crisis... the list goes on. And this guy has nothing better to do than maundering about AI supplanting human intelligence... but given all these facts, what intelligence exactly?
As if we had no problems that are more severe.

It’s been 14 years since a group of software developers put their heads together and came up with a manifesto that took the IT world by storm. We asked Agile Manifesto co-author Brian Marick what remains of the original ideas today. I can honestly say it means as much to me as it ever has

It means all the money that was once wasted on failed or delayed software projects is now wasted on consultants and workshops... so you are right: net zero
