Yes, since I've worked with green "senior developers" who were really "junior developers" (and sometimes not even that.) Unfortunately, the opinions of these folks too often held sway to the detriment, sometimes severe detriment, to the project and company.
Fairly recently I worked with a very talented developer who had the title "junior developer" and was quite honest about needing time and experience to earn "developer" and "senior developer" titles. It was refreshing.

If you put "seniour" on your resume whilst not having completed a single project, you are committing fraud; you are selling yourself as something you are not, an can be held liable for all damages resulting from it.

Because there are no (or much less) big companies that can support junior developers and have them grow and gain experience within the company, move from junior to senior in 5, 10 years.
Today, there are a lot of small companies and they cannot support that model.
I'd rather be phishing!

University of Bristol researchers were able to study our thinking behaviour by analysing seven-billion words used in 800-million tweets. Did you just use "thinking" and "Twitter" in the same sentence?

Quote: Overall, the study discovered strong evidence that our language changes dramatically between night and day, reflecting changes in our concerns and underlying cognitive and emotional processes. These shifts also occur at times associated with major changes in neural activity and hormonal levels, suggesting possible relations with our circadian clock. Furthermore, the study revealed both cognitive and emotional states change in a predictable way during the 24 hours.

The real unspoken elephant in the room is that 50% W7 now, is much higher than XP was 18mo before its originally planned EOL.
MS is at some point either going to have to extend support by a few years or have about 1/3rd of the internet online with foreverday bugs. They could turn free W10 upgrades back on for consumers I suppose; but on the enterprise side a lot is legacy crapware blocking upgrades, and volume licensing means that they could go W10 anytime they're ready anyway.

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?

With C# 8, reference types are not null be default. This is a big change, and a great feature. However, what about all the legacy code? Can old libraries be used with C# 8 applications, and can C# 7 applications make use of C# 8 libraries? NotNotNullReferenceException?

I found this a less than useful article because the author used Type 'String for all his examples, and Type 'String is, imho, not where dev's have null reference exceptions.

Researchers have shown that a new quantum-based procedure for distributing secure information along communication lines could be successful in preventing serious security breaches. So all we need are quantum computers, and our cats are safe?

Do they realize that quantum-based solutions will mean that their passwords will also get cracked faster?
And it won't stop people from clicking on "You Must See This!"

It's a "quantum step". I.e. the smallest possible step in the quantum world - close to nothing at all. Hence: title is correct.

I paid "use tax" on my state returns for years. (Which is where you calculate what you would have paid has the transactions been in-state and pay it on the state return.) Haven't recently because Amazon started collecting sales tax and I haven't bought from anyone else online in a very long time.

A proposed European law would mandate that content providers utilize some kind of content filter to make sure rights holders get their royalties. But for a public open source code repository, such a contraption could be a nuisance, or it could be catastrophic. A side effect of a political decision? Well, I never!

Ironically, the ACLU was all in favor of the FCC controlling the internet. The little bit of government control "we like" rarely ends there.
