Our goal with this new experience is to provide rapid access to the most common ways that developers get to their code: whether it’s cloning from an online repository or opening an existing project. It's not just a bunch of new icons!

Now, they need to add a huge icon reading "Turn Off This Sh*t"

Since most of these people at Microsoft have nothing to do than collect the paycheck ... ya way to go with touching and retouching stuff that other people build and was working... it must be a rosey job being a Program Manager at MSFT...

Double clicking on MyCurrentProject.sln has always done the job for me.
Can't they spend their time sorting out the crappy text search in SSMS instead?

Exactly.
The Way of the Future is to use nothing but third-party products in windows.
It used to be that you'd use third-party programs because of personal preferences, but now it's out of necessity.

Spammers have sent a wave of threats to businesses, schools, and other locations, demanding bitcoin in exchange for not detonating a supposed bomb. And I thought the 'Microsoft Tech Support' scammers were awful people

The punishment should fit the crime. They should be made to spend spend every day peddling exercise bikes that power computers to mine bitcoins for their local schools.

There’s lots of research going into tiny drones, but one of the many hard parts is keeping them in the air for any real amount of time. Why not hitch a ride on something that already flies all day? Next step is to mount a little explosive on them...
I know! I saw it on a documentary once called Black Mirror.

So the bees have been dying out as a result of experimentation into what they can carry?
Sounds about right.

The popularity and success of DevOps means it’s now an increasingly common feature in IT job descriptions. Step 0: Get business cards printed

Step 1: Claim to know more than you actually do
Step 2: Figure out how to do it before management clues in (not a big leap)

Microsoft said it uses updates issued in the latter half of the month to beta-test non-security features. We're all beta-testers now

Oh?
OK, I'm surprised.
Does ms still release finished code? I thought it gave up on that, years ago.

Or even a beta application. MS released multiple VS betas a few years back that had un/installers sufficiently broken that you couldn't do a side by side or upgrade install of the release version when it came out or remove the beta version; meaning your reward for testing a beta app was having to reinstall your OS.

In this post I will explore what you can do using only the code in the dotnet/coreclr repository and along the way we’ll find out more about how the runtime interacts with the wider .NET Ecosystem. Getting to the core of the matter
