Meiosis. I can't help it; it's the way I was indoctrinated, as a child.

Yep, that wonderful nightmare of drag-n-drop programming....
Websites are a perfect example of what can happen:
1. The developer community shunned FrontPage; letting anyone create data-driven website with zero knowledge.
2. Have you ever seen the HTML generated from an Office App (eg Word, Excel) when you choose "Save as webpage"?
Just reading through the Q&As we can see no-code programming; a lot of is Copy & Paste of things such as "i saw this example on youtube" or "I found this class how can I make it work".
Nevermind the ever present SQL Injection vulnerabilities that are being called out from this coding practice

It has a drag-drop interface. OK, so that system was built without code? What did monks just meditate it into existence?

The temptation for businesses to use artificial intelligence and other technology to improve performance, drive down labor costs, and better the bottom line is understandable. But before pursuing automation that could put the jobs of human employees at risk, it is important that business owners take careful stock of their operations.

Well, he certainly wasn't talking about me.
It might have been Marc or John, or maybe Griff. We'll let them fight it out.

Yup, I had to look up BDD, too.
It was a fair bet that the "DD" was "Driven Development", but then I got stuck on the 'B', because I couldn't think of an appropriate variant of "Bollocks".
Bollock? Bollocky? Bollocksome? Nope, stuck.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

One of the key challenges of computer design is how to pack chips and wiring in the most ergonomic fashion, maintaining power, speed and energy efficiency. I guess they'll be very good at recursion

Microsoft is moving to make most of its external (and some internal) events digital-only for its FY'21 in light of impacts of the coronavirus. Yes, that means Ignite 2020 for sure and likely Build 2021, too. I guess the travel budget is done for the year

The Death Star from the Star Wars franchise is a technological wonder that could only exist in fiction. Proof the Emperor had it destroyed for insurance purposes
Yes, it's 2016 news, but including as Chris keeps sending it over. So, I figured I'd add it to allow him to rest at home
