So, after being fed a few million lines of my code, it would appropriately come up with:

It is challenging enough for developers to make their code work. But software has to be more than functional. It has to be secure, accessible, and actually reflect what users want. If you need to get developers to provide something beyond the basics, try these motivational techniques. Nothing but gin, work tickets, and the lash
Or something like that

I read about a third of a brilliant book, recently, on the topic of how using "motivation" techniques is a complete waste of time.
Well, I say it was brilliant, because the core rationalisation was brilliant -- but the implementation was cr@p (it certainly didn't deserve a book-length text), so I couldn't find enough motivation to read the whole thing.

Well, I'm no management expert, but I always find that when dealing with people, "pleases" and "thank yous" tend to be far more effective than bull***t.

Making the code work is a minor barrier to success. The hardest part of it is to make the application uable by the target audience, with as little training as is necessary.
Make it work.
Make it secure.
Make it usable for the target audience.

How ironic. The author states:
Quote: Yet, developers are already under stress, with plenty of barriers that make it difficult to put code into production.
and yet nowhere is there a recommendation to reduce stress and barriers (like inane paperwork, firecall procedures, and archaic SDLC apps) to get code into production.

Will a mallet and a couple of aspirin do?
It works for insomnia, too.

That's because you've been hitting your head with the aspirin and eating the mallet.

The European Union has published new guidelines on developing ethical AI Just like the EU {/sarcasm} and :eyeroll:
Not an attempt at Soapboxing, I just find the EU government opaque, but that might be because I'm not in it.
Mind you, I find the Canadian government kind of opaque as well.
Dang. I am in Soapbox territory, aren't I?
Sorry.

Well, you currently have a choice of two types of governmental behaviour, which are in diametric opposition:
0. One that acts a bit like a nanny to the general populace, and tries to make sure that corporations don't do whatever the F*** they like to people with whatever they can get their hands on.
1. One that's like the one with a certain person living in a certain-coloured house.
I know which I prefer.

Hm.
You mean, like, epicness and any sign of a battle?
You might be on to something, there.

I'm a bit confused here. Did MS re-enable cached writes at some point? I though they disabled them by default on USB devices way back when either vista or W7 launched...
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?
