Welcome to the cloud 
I foresee a great future for coders, writing and rewriting the same stuff over and over again.

Sources for the Financial Times understand that the internet giant is developing "Facebook at Work," a professional take on its familiar formula. No. No, no, no, no NO. No.

Microsoft has collected all the stats about its products and services into a report which was released on November 13th. These numbers provide insight into the massive amount of users Microsoft has across the company. "All the lonely people, where do they all belong?"

Is Windows really used by 1.5 billion people? Or are they talking merely about "licenses sold" here? I mean, how do you accurately count the number of people using Windows? What about people with multiple devices? What about the people using pirated copies? I know, it's all about the money in the end, so 1.5 billion licenses sold is 1.5 billion licenses sold. But it doesn't mean there are 1.5 billion people using them. It's maybe more, due to piracy, but most likey less than that.

Code-Fight.Club is a project built by Andrew Hathaway with the aim to help fellow developers learn how to write their code in the nicest, most efficient and preferred way they can. To decide which code is the most preferred way, users can comment and vote against a fight for their favourite contender. We support 84 different languages, a mix between programming languages and templating syntaxes, be sure to look through the list. The first rule of code-fight club is... uh, forget I mentioned it

Becoming a Microsoft Certified Professional is no easy task, let alone if one is only 5 years old! But that’s exactly what young Ayan Qureshi managed to accomplish. Something to think about next time you want to put MCP on your business cards

Think about it; and think about it carefully. Nothing happens in our society without software. Nothing. "With great power comes great responsibility"

Interesting reading with some very good points. In fact something that should be thinked about very slowly.
Thanks

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Very nice. However, I take offense with this statement:
Our software will be well-written for it's purpose and lifetime.
Everyone knows it should read:
Our software will be well-written for its purpose and lifetime.

Hum. Let's not abuse them.

He makes some good points, but there are some massively hubristic claims there. Programmers don't rule the world (at least no more than any other relatively useful profession such as surgeons or automotive engineers).
The idea that we could all unite and hold the world to ransom is ludicrous.

Without software: Phones don't ring. Cars don't start. Planes don't fly. Bombs don't explode. Ships don't sail. Ovens don't bake. Garage doors don't open. Money doesn't change hands. Electricity doesn't get generated. And we can't find our way to the store.
You know, all that worked before software, before transistors, and money certainly changed hands even before electricity. As to finding our way to the store, there's this archaic concept of actually communicating with your fellow man and asking directions.
And when the earth gets a direct hit from a sufficiently powerful CME (which is inevitable) will all discover again how to ask directions, grow our own food, and spin wool.

Agile is the ultimate bureaucracy buster -- and has already been proven in the software space. Time to spread the gospel. Agile all the things!

Just over 18 months ago Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said he found having to talk to Google Glass out loud “the weirdest thing” and admitted that there would be “places where Google Glass are inappropriate.” People don't want to wear silly looking glasses? Wha?
