the problem with this prediction is that it doesn't take into account all of the "dead" programming languages that will most likely still be churning.
I doubt that COBOL developers will be embracing the concept of TDD.
you want something inspirational??

Exactly.
If he had said, "If you're working on mainstream apps (probably just web apps), TDD will be required by 2022" I'd feel less like mocking him.
Hmm. Now you have me thinking if it's even a thing.
AAAAAAAAH! Burn it! Burn it with fire![^]. Seems it's a thing.

People may be writing Windows' obituary, but there's big growth ahead for it, nearly 30% in the next two years, thanks to increasing sales of mobile devices. So say Gartner. "They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast"

Assuming you're a Gmail user you'll be aware that there's rarely a need to type out an email address in full. Once a contact is in your address book, you can start typing a name into the To field and suggestions will pop up as you type. But what about those people whose email address you don’t actually have? You may have connected with someone on Google+ but start to type out an email and you suddenly realize you don’t have an address to send to. D'oh! However a new feature that's rolling out could see this frustration becoming a thing of the past. "Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!"

That's called chatting, then.

IBM said it will invest more than $1 billion to establish a new business unit for Watson, as the tech giant hopes to get more revenue from the supercomputer system that beat humans on the television quiz show "Jeopardy". 33 minutes to global domination, or your next one's free

Too slow off the mark with that one...posted down a wee bit by a.n. other 
I thought I had just read this somewhere.... If you had asked Watson, you would have known that...

For a career in software, JavaScript shouldn't be your first language. function foo() {bar=42;whubba=function(){if(bar==true{alert(bar);}else{alert('nope');}};whubba();}foo();
|
|
|
|
|
Syntax Error?
function foo() {
bar=42;
whubba=function(){
if(bar==true <== Did you miss a closing bracket?
{
alert(bar);
}
else
{
alert('nope');
}
};
whubba();
}
foo();

Hehe, sorry, hard to tell. Tested in JSFiddle as well, but then I did format it after. Thanks.

Many people who currently own Windows Phone 8 smartphones have been worried that when Windows Phone 8.1 comes out, their handsets won't be upgraded to the new OS. This week, Microsoft confirmed that won't be the case. You'd think this wouldn't be news, but with their track record...

three stacked pizza boxes for automated google searching... that's still a lot.

Papandriopoulos created the app by rewriting how JPEG images are compressed on the smartphone. In doing so it seems he bested Apple’s own engineers,... Say, "cheese".
