Perhaps I misread it, but the article leaves out an important factor; a project may be the brainchild of the president or CEO (more problematic if they are a founder.)
In one case in my past, a company president became convinced computers worked differently than they actually do and kept asking me to implement a feature to leverage this fantasy. I patiently explained why the feature wouldn't work, my boss did the same. Turns out that a year prior, the senior architect had fought the same battle. All to no avail.

With the new C++ standards, we got a lot of features that feel like “quality-of-life” features. They make things easier for the programmer but do not add functionality that wasn’t already there. Did #pragma finish_my_job make it?

While most of the attention is on big ticket items such as default interface methods and nullable references, many small features are also be considered for C# 8. Here is a sampling of things that may make it into future version of C#. $@features&&=

Let me preface this with an apology: this is a technology love story, and as such, it’s long, rambling, sentimental and personal. Also befitting a love story, it has a When Harry Met Sally feel to it, in that its origins are inauspicious… In case you never sleep

Oh yeah, that's great idea: "rewriting Python into C" - why not automatically rewrite JavaScript into C? In my opinion, that's far more likely to occur.
Because most "developers" do not grasp concepts beyond if-else or loops like Object-Orientation or Functional Programming (both invented some 50 years ago). They won't grasp more modern concepts either. We will end in scripting "languages".
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

I've never understood this nihilistic approach to technology, or any human development for that matter; "We've reach a limitation, let's burn it all down."
Patterson thinks he's being insightful and profound, but has the same mindset as people who tore down Penn station claiming it was progress. (Okay, at least he concedes that the market will decide. But if he's so brilliant, why not do it himself instead of throwing stones?)

Google will now let you code your web pages in Basic. Known as WWWBasic, this is — of course — a Javascript hack that you can load remotely into a web page and then have your page use Basic for customization. "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should."
Yeah, I use that one too often, but when it's *really* appropriate...
