Quote: A team that treats meeting requirements “as more important than getting something useful into the field as quickly as possible” should also fix its priorities as soon as possible.
and therein lies the problem with agile - "Get something out as quickly as possible" SMH

I was going to post the same quote. My comment would be (or is) something like:
"Yeah. Give them that bio-rhythm. At least they'll have something right away. That should keep their customer's investments safe."

I would claim that my jaw dropped when I saw it mention that concentrating on requiremens was secondary to getting something out of the door - but nothing really surprises me nowadays.

A huge volume of lead flying out of the barrel is way more important than hitting anything!

The CLR makes heavy use of a technique known as stack walking (or stack crawling). This involves iterating the sequence of call frames for a particular thread, from the most recent (the thread’s current function) back down to the base of the stack. Developer wanted: must enjoy long stack walks on the (data) breach

As long as they're not recursive; I don't have a lot of luck walking backward.
I especially shouldn't have done it when I'd just cleaned the upstairs windows.

The tech talent gap is biting most of the 1,000 technical hiring managers responding to a recent survey. And 40% of job postings have unrealistic requirements?

My fault.
I shouldn't have commented on the zdnet site that I couldn't find anyone with 20 years experience in C#.

But then there will be loads of people with 20 years' experience.
I only want the best, so I'll demand 25.

60% are willing to lie on their resume and claim 15 years of AWS, 20 years of C# and 10 years of Swift if that's what the HR droid entered in the job req.

I think the discussion is about the unreasonable requirements on job postings, such as "5+ years of experience with Asp.Net Core 2.1" (I actually saw that in a job posting last November).

and I think the only reason a much larger share of hiring managers and their HR drones aren't complaining about the problem is that they get an applicant who is willing to tell whatever lies they need to to get past the automated screening checks impossible requirements.

That's always been a problem though...
A few years back, I was trying to find a job through a head hunter, and they tried to get me to pad my resume to better fit a job posting, and I told them I wouldn't do it.

“I think to be a well-informed citizen in the 21st century, you need to know a little bit about this stuff [AI] because you want to be able to participate in the debates. You don’t want to be someone to whom AI is sort of this thing that happens to you. You want to be an active agent in the whole ecosystem,” he said. I guess it's back to the 19th century for me

Yeah.
Cocktail-party-level knowledge.
Need I remind everyone what a little learning is?
Sadly, given the technical directions that ms products have been taking, over recent years, it's exactly the kind of thing I expect to hear from the ms CTO.
