Google has been fined €50 million (~$57 million) by French regulators, the first major penalty under a sweeping new European Union privacy law known as GDPR, which took effect last year. On revenue of ~USD120B, that's gotta hurt

Hey, man. Someones' got to pay for all the damage from the yellow jackets. Since no one in france actually works, you turn to the Yanks.

As the OSS community has grown in scale and importance, the way we think about working together has to evolve, too. "Bob and the gang have so much fun. Working together, they get the job done"

Didn't the OSS become the CIA?
That would certainly explain why 60% of computer resources are used for data-slurping, these days.

Quote: OSS is an essential and special part of software development.
No, it isn't. It's simply another piece, no more, no less. Like any other piece, individual projects rise or fall based on 1) the passion of the caretaker(s) and 2) whether they solve a problem and do so with reasonable quality. This is no different than from paid-for products.

A team of researchers at the University of Pretoria and City University of Hong Kong has recently developed a continuous smartphone user authentication system based on gait analysis. Walk ten steps to log in?

I’ve been saying for awhile now that we’re getting close to a crisis point in the IT world. The mid-tier IT worker is in imminent danger of being automated out of existence, and just like with the vanished factory jobs of the last 30 years, nobody wants to admit it’s happening until it’s too late.

I know lots of non-technical people who seem to have no trouble at all producing code, if their boss requires it of them.
They start with "Hey, Mark, could you...?"

FTFY (and I wouldn't be surprised if the same could be said of even older spreadsheets).
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?

To summarize; the author is panicking about a reduction in jobs that did not exist 30 years ago. (Yeah, he eventually gets around to--the onus is on you to learn new skills.)

all the jobs are actually taken over by outsourcing companies who have or say they have the new buzz word is place..like going digital ai automation driverless cars future aug reality block chain hololens...etc

Software development has been getting easier and easier as computing technology has evolved. Here's what developers need to know and do to stay relevant. If everyone is a dev, then no one is a dev?
Wasn't there an article recently about how great the prospects are for developers?

Two, in fact.
But they were from companies that provide dev training.
itprotoday makes its money by advertising to non-dev IT people, who don't want to learn to be devs.

As in, actually become a competent software developer, not just one that can make a few clicks in the IDE and claim to have developed a website?

Software development for easy problems is getting easier. Enough of the hand wringing; that's good thing. A lot of stuff surrounding hard problems is getting easier, but it still takes brains and experience to solve them. (DevOps has little, if anything, to do with this, but when a reporter runs out of words, it provides filler.)

A library that I work on often these days, meshoptimizer, has changed over time to use fewer and fewer C++ library features, up until the current state where the code closely resembles C even though it uses some C++ features. Didn't this get decided decades ago?

If you're saying that they're slow off the mark, I'll have no option but to groan miserably.
