Misconceptions and 'best practices' may have your team spinning wheels rather than continuously churning out productive code It wouldn't be Friday without a judgemental listicle.

Thank you! Apparently I needed a Project Manager for that.
I'll show myself out...

Quote: To remediate this, remember that the main goal is to deliver working software, not to follow a recipe; there is no recipe that always works for every project and team. Therefore, let each team adopt their own practices and take responsibility for adjusting and improving them.
This is a wonderful idea as long as your teams are totally rigid and personnel never move between or work in multiple teams at once. In that case, everyone doing their completely different thing makes any sort of staffing agility a nightmarish cluster elephant. 
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?

Not every one but every project. There's a huge difference. You just need to ensure your developers are flexible and adaptable.
"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

Agile practice needs not only organized team members but also the members should know what to do as being a self sufficient. This is very important. Else you will end up with stand up meeting without doing nothing and finally you will deliver your MOM to the client which is a failure.

Tor developers have been working on the next iteration of the Tor network and its underbelly, the Onion routing protocol, in order to create a stronger, harder-to-crack anonymous communications system. "As far as we know, a distributed random generation system like this has never been deployed before on the Internet." - Tor team.

Hmm. Interesting. I wonder if it would be vulnerable to substitution of one or more of the networked RNG servers.

Probably not any single server; but when the FBI floods the neetwork with enough that it owns a majority of the distributed RNG....

Exactly. If you can do one, you can do many, and then it becomes predictable.

Microsoft has u-turned over changes it made to a pop-up encouraging users to upgrade to Windows 10. We did it!

My solution still works: disable win update.
will not re enable before w10 is 1 year old and paying.

I'm not clear if what is described in the BBC article is in fact the May 26 re-appearance of KB 3035583. See Woody Leonhard's take on it here: [^].
I know I ain't installing it, though.

As fast-food workers across the country vie for $15 per hour wages, many business owners have already begun to take humans out of the picture. But can that robot arm sass me? I'll pay extra for a little sassin'

Will they resuscitate me when I pass out from the shock of getting what I actually ordered?

Forget the sass, I just prefer having them get my order completely wrong.

The day I watch the robot arm put a cheeseburger into my big mac meal bag, I will feel nostalgia and sadness.

It'll probably be something more akin to a copy machine and a conveyor belt.

I'm all for automation replacing such mindless jobs, as long as the benefits of such don't concentrate at the top of the pile. We're going to have to do a rethink at some point, or civil unrest is sure to follow.

160 terabytes per second ... okay [^].
Definitely another sign of the imminent apocalypse.

KITT-like auto-cruise and auto-steer are equal parts mesmerizing and disturbing. I trust all software. I just don't trust the developers that made it.
