A lot of people struggle with legacy code because it’s hard to understand. Step 0: Post to Q&A, asking "What does this function do?"

The cloud revolution means big changes ahead for jobs and more. And don't expect the rate of change to slow. Or what 'won' means, apparently

Nonsense. The centralized versus distributed yo-yo has gone from mainframes to workstations to servers to desktops and now to the cloud, which is enjoying its 15 years of fame. It will end when techno-marketers convince CIOs that they now need a distributed intranet, perhaps to protect stuff in the cloud from getting hacked.

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?

Features have been added and bugs have been fixed, but things are still missing. We're all just Omicron Testers (Beta was a long time ago)

Is it really lightweight, or "JetBrains lightweight"?

Forget about the toasters, for there is a new frontier in Doom trivia: training up rodents to wander its mazes and blow away imps. Oh sure, teach them how to run mazes and kill people. What could go wrong?

The analyst firm, IDC, has said that classical computing will run out of steam over the next decade as quantum computing comes to the fore. Does this mean we're entering the romantic period of computing?

Someone with more brains says that databases will still run on classical computers and keep the world running long after IDC runs out of money.

Almost every software engineer fights a never-ending fight: we strive to make our codebase simpler and thus more readable every day. If you don't guard your clauses, who knows what may happen to them
Yeah, very lame. It's Sunday, and my brain isn't working right now.

Guard clauses cause clustering complexity collapse. Claus that's the way they roll!
:rimshot: - followed by deathly silence.

It's brief and recommends putting guards in their own if statements. It will trigger those who cleave to the shibboleth that a function should only have one return statement.
