Really interesting article 
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

It just gets me how they refer to their database as the "Source of Truth", when everybody knows that's wikipedia.

If you were thinking of learning a new programming language in 2019 then I would highly recommend to have a close look at F#. And other things to argue about.

Given how much time I seem to spend on the front-end of web development, what language I use on the back-end has become almost irrelevant. It could be GW-BASIC for all I care and would notice. To make me a happy camper, all it needs to do is support Linq, Linq2SQL, Newtonsoft JSON, and handle web API calls, and that's about it.

Learn a language or technology that businesses actually use rather than one that some blog pundit si promoting (often to support their own business.)
If you are not already proficient in databases then I suggest that. If No-SQL then mongodb because it is the most popular. If SQL then Oracle, MS SQL Server or MySQL.
Other than that look to the following for languages that are actually in use.

Could we run the windows 10 updates in there too?

And, given ms' record for quality software, over the past ten years, you just know that everyone will immediately rush to uninstall their third-party sandboxes.

Vitaminwater has announced that it is raising a challenge for smartphone addicts: ditch the gadget for a year and win a whopping $100,000. *Puts down phone for 5 minutes* I can totally do this. *10 minutes pass* What time is it?

Quote: Vitaminwater will test the candidate's honesty by submitting to a lie-detector test at the end of the year
That's their get-out for not paying up. Obviously you can't prove someone didn't use a smartphone for a whole year so I imagine that even if you didn't use a smartphone you'll somehow still fail their "test".

That's gotta be on the up-and-up.
I mean, when a company named "vitaminwater" says something, you can be sure it's not a scam.

I have to say that this facebook antitrust stuff is all a complete surprise to me.
I mean, who could possibly have predicted that having a kiddie in charge of an advertising company that cons people into handing over all their personal data would be a problem?
My only regret is that I don't even remember which newsgroup I posted to, about three days after facebook opened its site.

According to a Hacker News post by Joshua Bakita, who served as an intern on Edge team, Microsoft was basically left with no choice but to join the Google fold. How Google Made the Web Slower and Asserted Dominance

One wonders if said former intern has disabled a career outside MS, or enabled a career inside MS with this.
My jaded voice-of-experience says he's disabled both, and that, labeled a whistle-blower, he will not be working for any major company.
