Not long after Apple unveiled its Siri personal assistant to the world, people began asking her outrageous questions, sometimes inappropriate or just humorous, if for no other reason than they just could. "She's not just a computer, she's her own person."

Apparently, computers now have feelings, too. How long will it be before screaming at your computer is considered to be abuse?
 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It certainly would be nice if they gave some examples.
Personally, I'm worried about the people that might sexually harass a disembodied voice.

A lot of friends, and former colleagues, want to know what its been like to build Jet.com. I figured I would take a little time to talk about some of the things we've built as a team as well as reflect on the last year. Create your own "Amazon-killer", some assembly required

Businesses quickly realized TDD didn’t give them the visibility and coverage they needed for the most important business cases in their systems. So, a variant of TDD was born called behavior driven development (BDD), focusing on the behavior of the system rather than its technical specifications. My development has always involved some kind of (bad) behaviour

Modern malware is designed to do things like steal your credit card information, enable identity theft, and even shut down nuclear power stations, and usually carries out its attacks silently and behind the scenes so as not to arouse suspicion. Remember when malware would just mess up your machine? Yeah. Good times.

Yes, I remember my very first virus. It was the "Form" virus and it attacked floppy disks!

Systems programmers telling web developers that their job is easy or that it somehow doesn’t count is akin to an aerospace engineer telling a civil engineer that their job isn’t “real engineering.” "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one"

That's a very long post to justify your professional existence. He protests a little too much.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

It's been extremely hard to write C# oddities because it appears the people who created it did a pretty good job. It's not a bug, it's a feature
I'm pretty sure he's wrong about the switch statement, but I'm too lazy to test/look it up.

I agree. I would say that the second peculiarity can be replaced by const (in that case), and the third one is a classic C++ unreadable mess.

Baloney!
His allegedly NOT compiling switch statement is the like of which I write every day, and it compiles.
Enough said!

Yeah; what's he been smoking?

Yes it's allowed. Fall through is only not allowed in C# when the case contains something. If it's empty like he showed, that's fine.
