#realJSOP wrote: 4) Nobody codes on their own at home any more I currently work with nine other devs, and I'm the ONLY one that codes at home as a hobby or to learn new stuff (that I need for work).
In my old age, I admittedly don't do this as much anymore, however with one or two exceptions, the developers I respect the most all do some sort of techno-geek tinkering at home.

In other news, narcissists upset at not being praised every second of the day.
(Snark aside, it is irritating for sales to be congratulated for "job well done" with a product I wrote. On the other hand, if they keep writing me checks, that's okay.)

It took nearly five years into the internet’s life before anyone made a concerted effort to archive it. Much of our earliest online activity has disappeared. Because we didn't think it would amount to anything?

Auntie said: Much of our earliest online activity has disappeared.
... And how many people wake up every day and praise the Lord for this?

Scientists at the Universities of Birmingham, Bristol and Colorado, Boulder have moved a step closer to developing the next generation of data storage and processing devices, using an emerging science called skyrmionics. You can store data in that Icelandic yogurt?
I think I did a Skyrim "joke" last time they came up, so I decided to spread the lack of humour around.

For 30 years, we’ve bolstered developer stereotypes: a monoculture of introverted, technical wizards, who want little involvement with the business and are perceived to be merely “coders of algorithms” who will get the job done as long as there’s enough caffeine and snacks. "This is the modern world that I've learnt about"

I don't see much point in reading the article, because the bit you've quoted is so unarguably true that it's not worth the bother of reading arguments against it.

Geez, what are we, a lower life form?

OK, what? The OS community is built by developers. What did we do, create the OS community in some Freudian subconscious Id reaction to channel our "excess energies"?
Seems like Mr. Merrill is perched too high in his Director tower and needs some more awareness, involvement, and engagement himself!

God, what a metrosexual half-wit. Or maybe I need to get out more. If this bozo really thinks this, we're f'ing doomed. A real developer looks at a user whining and thinks, "omg, what an idiot..." and codes around the stupidity.

Facebook app developers left hundreds of millions of user records exposed on publicly visible cloud servers, researchers from security firm UpGuard said today. You're not just a product, you're also a billboard?

"Leaving records exposed" appears to be the new delivery method.
The Facebook Marketing Department said: For the right price, we'll let you know the window when the data will be available.

After watching application teams, security teams and operations teams get the -Ops treatment, data engineering teams are now getting their own process ending in -Ops. Ops. They did it again.
I have a new idea, where the operations team works with the networking team and the server team. I'm going to call it OpsOps.

No, surgeons are going to call what they do OpsOps. The nurses who tend to you afterwards are going to be PostOpsOps.

And then, when everything is some form of 'ops' they'll come up with a new concenpt where ops is old school, and call it 'NoOps'

I told our DBAs about this, and they laughed.
I remember laughing too, and now it's not f*ckin funny.

Manager flow. Just what we need more of.
