For 30 years, we’ve bolstered developer stereotypes: a monoculture of introverted, technical wizards, who want little involvement with the business and are perceived to be merely “coders of algorithms” who will get the job done as long as there’s enough caffeine and snacks. "This is the modern world that I've learnt about"

I don't see much point in reading the article, because the bit you've quoted is so unarguably true that it's not worth the bother of reading arguments against it.

Geez, what are we, a lower life form?

OK, what? The OS community is built by developers. What did we do, create the OS community in some Freudian subconscious Id reaction to channel our "excess energies"?
Seems like Mr. Merrill is perched too high in his Director tower and needs some more awareness, involvement, and engagement himself!

God, what a metrosexual half-wit. Or maybe I need to get out more. If this bozo really thinks this, we're f'ing doomed. A real developer looks at a user whining and thinks, "omg, what an idiot..." and codes around the stupidity.

Facebook app developers left hundreds of millions of user records exposed on publicly visible cloud servers, researchers from security firm UpGuard said today. You're not just a product, you're also a billboard?

"Leaving records exposed" appears to be the new delivery method.
The Facebook Marketing Department said: For the right price, we'll let you know the window when the data will be available.

After watching application teams, security teams and operations teams get the -Ops treatment, data engineering teams are now getting their own process ending in -Ops. Ops. They did it again.
I have a new idea, where the operations team works with the networking team and the server team. I'm going to call it OpsOps.

No, surgeons are going to call what they do OpsOps. The nurses who tend to you afterwards are going to be PostOpsOps.
|

And then, when everything is some form of 'ops' they'll come up with a new concenpt where ops is old school, and call it 'NoOps'

Manager flow. Just what we need more of.

So the standard now is that if there is one flaw, an item can't be sold.
AI researchers prove once again that they are morons.

One major flaw in a core function, sure.
That's how it works with cars, toothbrushes, coffee cups, and everything else.
Too many software houses have been immune to the consequences of inadequate QA for too long a time, but this is a "major flaw in a core function" that could result in people's lives being completely ruined for no reason at all.
I say: pull the plug.

I didn't read the article, but surely minority is subjective to where you are, so why not just train the AI across ethnic locations, or is that too simplistic.

I did read the article, the sub-headline is erroneous.
