Yet another "What could POSSIBLY go wrong?" venture.
The thing about science fiction is that a lot of it (the non-televised and non-movie variety) is written by people who know a lot about what they're talking about.
And an awful lot of Sci-Fi stories centre precisely on what can go wrong with experimental work like this -- and, more importantly, they point out the indicators to look for, which show when the experiments are going wrong, because the writers have had the time to think objectively about such things.
Someone sign the International Space Station up to a Sci-Fi book club, eh?

Right. Their desire to make a buck and sell a good story had nothing whatsoever to do with it.

Yes, the same as all developers are only there to make a buck.
There are absolutely zero professionals in either profession, obviously.
... Or could it be that there is a percentage of hacks in both?

Testers often don’t really understand the business or the application’s users, and they rarely interact with the developers or stakeholders. "A well-stocked mind is safe from boredom."
But really - what's the 'what'?

What's boring about testing?
0. Load it up.
1. Fire it up.
2. Read a book.
Sounds like la dolce vita, to me.

Google has confirmed that it is rolling out an emergency update to the Google Chrome web browser over the coming days to fix a high-severity vulnerability that could allow attackers to take control of your Windows, macOS or Linux system. I'd have thought they'd wait on this until they could report it as an Edge bug

Wouldn't it be far more efficient to just uninstall that piece of nosy, intrusive, and privacy-abusing cr@p it?

By now, many of you have seen the Perl 6 Github issue "Perl" in the name "Perl 6" is confusing and irritating. s/perl/raku/g
Not that I pay attention to perl or anything, but I thought perl 6 still wasn't released. I thought it was going to come out after Duke Nukem Forever, Half-life 3, and Taligent

We'll have to sneakily ask a question that only the real Perl will know the answer to, then shoot the clone.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

I just remembered some old projects:
- internationalization. Find all strings in the solution and create resources for them
- database cleanup. Find all string concatenated SQL queries and replace with parameterized queries.
Guess how much fun I had with dead code in the form of "backup projects" in the solution, backup files in projects, no more needed files in projects (build action=none), functions which are never called, ...?
The guy is right: delete code!
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!
