Sounds like divine intervention to me. Maybe a plague or toads or a flood would help get the point across.

15.9 million students in 167 countries participated in the Hour of Code campaign last week, and districts in 5 states added CS classes to their high school curriculum as part of CS Ed Week.
Girls outcoded boys, too. Girl power.

Well I have found that women talk more than men, on average, to get the same thing achieved so it follows they would write more code as well.

I wrote that this weekend; I tweaked the heck out of it to ensure it would be as fast as possible -- no unnecessary characters to slow it down. And it's portable too; I compiled it on five different compilers on a variety of operating systems.
You don't have to test every single line of code, you know.

The open source community vilified Oracle for its alleged mismanagement of MySQL, but the facts suggest that might be a bum rap. "Whatever you think is supposed to happen, I’m telling you, the exact reverse opposite of that is gonna happen, okay?"

I’m pleased to announce that everyone in the Visual Studio organization is using Roslyn in their daily work now. In fact, the daily builds of VS are now compiled using Roslyn, all as part of a process that we refer to in the biz as “dogfooding.” Roslyn continues it's march to taking over

A federal judge ruled Monday that NSA data gathering on all U.S. telephone calls appears to violate the Constitution’s protection against unreasonable searches, calling it "almost Orwellian technology."

There is some irony in the fact that Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comic, has written a book about getting ahead in life. The characters in his daily strip aren’t exactly success stories. If you fail to plan, you plan to get ahead (or something)
