He's arguing against a case that doesn't exist. I've never read or heard any developer making such a statement as this. Therefore his entire article is a non sequitur.

Agreed! Seems like he's trying to get more clicks in an attempt to increase the chance of people buying his book. ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

There are some devs who certainly project such an attitude. E.g., "if you can't write an OS in assembler you're not worthy." I'm exaggerating a bit but that recent survey on which programming language to learn first had a whiff of that.

It's the internet, everyone writes in extremes 
I have come across one or two people like that in contracts though, although most people quickly learn to ignore them. I worked in one place where a couple of guys like this were handed control of the entire project; needless to say, the project never got delivered and cost the company a substantial amount of cash (tens of millions of pounds)

When hitchBOT the hitchhiking robot started his journey in Boston two weeks ago he wanted to see the entire country. Unfortunately, he never made it out of the Northeast. "Holly came from Miami, FLA. Hitch-hiked her way across the USA"

"But America is clearly a hard land for our robot brothers and sisters."
Yup, thanks Philly, One bad apple.......

Philadelphia is fine. But robots ain't got no place there. So stay out, robots.
This is your warning.  We had to make a 'xample of this here hitchBOT.

This is why I am calling on The Government to replace each human in Philadelphia with a Robot. Robots are kinder and gentler and never would've committed this heinous act.

Capitalising on the update fervor, some scammers are now sending users an email about the free upgrade to Windows 10 which, in fact, is an attempt at locking you out of your data - pending a ransom amount, of course. "There's a sucker born every minute."

Sadly, it seems there is a scam artist born every minute to take advantage of them too.

Just to clarify, do you mean those who fall for the scam, or those who install Windows 10?

Microsoft has introduced what it calls Windows Update Delivery Optimization, which works similar to a torrent, hosting the install files on local PCs and then propagating them to other PCs on either your local network or the internet. Plz send torrentz

I am starting to feel uTorrent was a better client than Windows Update, at least I can remove the ones I don't like.

Software testers may at times feel like their efforts are not fully appreciated by project programmers and developers. "I'm on your side when times get rough, and friends just can't be found"

CEO Satya Nadella said that the first developer version of the hologram-projecting device will come out "within the next year" during a video interview with the BBC this week. And will be cancelled after enough developers start work with it

Yesterday, tech sites went full Chicken Little over a Windows 10 feature that allows you to share your wireless connection without having to give away your Wi-Fi password. If only those alarmists had actually used the feature first... "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"
|
|
|
|

The people who went all crazy on that feature were ID-TEN-Ts to not read the freaking documentation on HOW IT WORKS!

Who cares is Microsoft tracks me, my ISP has been doing that since I got that connection.  Not just these two, many more are into this thing. Who to blame?

As the article states; one can do (see) more from the local operating system then from a remote location watching packets

If it is not for a packet, I am not sure how would Microsoft (actually) spy my actions.
