The most useful function on my phone is the mute button, for muting, well, "noises."

Old quote:
One thing each time,
And that done well,
Is a very good rule,
As many can tell.

If you are working in a noisy, and full of distractions environment, it sure you need 24 hours to done some work - the same work can be done - probably better - in 2 or 3 hours in a normal way...
I can see why Microsoft pushes it forward - it's a sale opportunity. But if it is so real, wanted and good why Microsoft do not send home all their employee I wonder?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Suit says median age at Google is 29, way below national averages. "Old man, take a look at my life. I'm a lot like you."

Why would anyone over thirty even consider working there? Yuck!

Good question - everything I've seen of it seems to make it look like extended grad school. Not a place I would even consider.

How to make Agile stick: both IT professionals and their employers need a 'software craftsman' mindset that addresses each project with extreme quality and care -- despite deadline pressures. "He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist."

In other words, we still don't know how to deliver bug free, well written software on time.

Knowing is not the same as doing.
I think the real source of the problem here is "pure-software" project managers. I think that projects should be seen as larger than their software component and managed by the beneficiary. The artificial separation these people create is harmful to both the business (by hiding the possibilities that are available through software) and to the developers (by imposing somewhat arbitrary measures of completeness and goodness that don't align to business value delivered.)
The embarrassing truth is that a business manager with the right tools (like burndown charts etc.) is far more effective (in my experience) than a software manager because they have the possibility to say "that feature is not important".

"Cortana, that’s perhaps the thing that’s going to change personal productivity even most and especially with Windows 10." Most people are already talking to their computers, now it can swear back

I'm going to take a wild guess that even if, in a fit of insanity, I were to connect a microphone to my PC (Hi Admiral Rogers); I'd find that saying "Hi Cortana, please start the best browser to download another browser and download a browser that doesn't suck" would take longer than clicking that big blue e and typing www.getfirefox.com. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

You mean you download Firefox in order to download Chrome? You can get Chrome directly using IE you know.
I have just finished working on an HTML editor that has to work on IE9+, Chrome, Safari and Firefox. Of all of these, Firefox has given me the most headaches! I haven't tried Opera but I was not required to support it (it is for use on our company intranet so we have a small measure of control).

Almost 10 years ago, Amazon CTO Werner Vogels famously revealed how the company had moved away from traditional department-led Web operations to developers deploying their own code. The SysAdmin is dead. Long live the SysAdmin.

Quote: This change in workflow means that developers are not only cranking out code from 9 to 5, they are also on duty from 5 to 9. Those 2 a.m. bug notifications are an unwelcome alarm clock for developers,
Fortunately, the fact that my brain classifies my phone ringing as equivalent to car traffic, songbirds, the elephanting roosters crows, etc as something to sleep through means that my sleep deprived 2am brain won't be making an even bigger disaster to confront at 8.

A quick and dirty calculation reveals that you could print the entire internet on 136 billion pieces of standard 8-by-11 sheets of paper. Or you could do it with one very large sheet

Quote: it would take 16 million trees to print 136 billion sheets of standard 8-by-11 sheets of paper. That's more than three times the number of trees growing in New York City at this moment.
Somehow it's less impressive after reading this. Call again when it takes more trees than there are on Earth.

JavaScript can be a deceiving language and it can be a real pain because it isn’t 100% consistent. Just because there are braces and semicolons doesn't mean it works the same way
