The key thing software companies and developers need to focus on when developing a new product is not writing more code. Is this another one of those sneaky, "test first" articles?

If you want to use reusable code, you first have to write reusable code.

It is more of a call to DDD (Domain Driven Design) than TDD (Test Driven Development) as the latter is still code.

In a recent paper published in the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, computer scientists Ani Nenkova and Yinfei Yang, of Google and the University of Pennsylvania, respectively, describe a new machine learning approach to classifying written journalism according to a formalized idea of “content density.” Oh great, now the AI are coming for my job
OK, that's a lie - I never post stuff with actual information

It'll be amusing to have that AI score the news stories that another AI writes.

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?

It's a prime number not a bold one...

Which begs the question why Amazon Prime costs 99 dollars when clearly it should either be 97 or 101...I won't even eat a prime steak unless it weighs 17 ounces, or watch primetime tv unless the channel is a prime number and that is only during the 7 o'clock hour which is also 19 o'clock military time. Call me a math purist.

- Multiply by the second largest prime number
- Add 1 and try to prove it is even bigger
- If that fails, subtract 1 and try again.

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is currently en route to Bennu, a carbon-rich asteroid that could contain the basic building blocks of life. Late last year it collected some images to remind us how small and insignificant we really are. Fortunately it didn't put its thumb over the lens

Forrester breaks down functional programming and why tech developers should care about it. And by "mainstream" they mean, "we just heard about it"

Quote: The customer-facing software development world is outgrowing stateful, object-oriented (OO) development.
Sounds like BS.

"A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem?"
With most programmers not having understood the object-oriented paradigma despite believing to use it since decades, we can be sure that we will soon have new beautiful functional stuff for the Weird & Wonderful.
