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.

Yeah, that was the feeling I got throughout this article. But it was late in the day, and my brain had already checked out.

"We have less of a clue than we lead you to believe"
I've mostly experienced the opposite. I bluntly tell management that I've never done what they want, but will try. They they say something like "yeah, but you're smart and will figure it out."
"We’re obsessed with the flavor of the month"
This drives me crazy. Off the top of my head, I can't count the number of project issues I've had to deal with due to a previous developer using "the hot thing." And don't get me started on Microsoft's damn obsession with COM.

Maxim 14. "Mad Science" means never stopping to ask "what's the worst thing that could happen?"
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

If you watch the presentation he links to it's not as horrific as you might imagine. It's quite slick, although at this stage, I can't see why you would want to do it. But I often think that about "new" stuff until someone describes a compelling scenario.

The tedious PowerPoint slide deck has become a well-worn cliché of numbing office life, the communication equivalent of a jammed copy machine, and the program has been blamed for everything from dumbing down university education to crippling the US military. Next slide, please?
I was shocked, SHOCKED to read that this study was funded by a competitor.

“They will be offended, believing you’re trying to put them into a box,” Barlow, a French-Canadian, tells Quartz. “And they just don’t think it’s interesting to work for a living. There are other things they’d much rather talk about.”
The French got something right? 
The ironic thing is, with the right audience, I love talking about tech, and as well some of the more colorful jobs I've had in tech, but there are definitely jobs, like the current one, that basically requires a temporary lobotomy every morning so I don't bore myself to death, given that for usually 7 out of 8 hours in the work day I'm the only one I'm talking to.

An entire generation of PCs, most only three or four years old, are now unable to receive new feature updates to Windows 10. If Microsoft doesn't deliver a patch within the next six to nine months, those PCs could be cut off from security fixes. Does this mean they'll stop asking them to upgrade?
