I was going to say: With the quantity of pissed off users that are overall, it might even be successfull.
Then I opened the article.Quote: “You see this return to the ways of old from Microsoft where they’re not prioritizing what matters to you guys, the customers,” Jassy said in his opening keynote at the AWS re:Invent conference. “People are sick and tired of being pawns in this game.”
It was so obvious that they were going to attack them using it

In a recent study titled Usage and Attribution of Stack Overflow Code Snippets in GitHub Projects, an answer I wrote almost a decade ago was found to be the most copied snippet on Stack Overflow. Ironically it happens to be buggy. Copy/Paste considered harmful

The article itself is pretty interesting, the best part is the end though:
Quote: Key Takeaways
Stack Overflow snippets can be buggy, even if they have thousands of upvotes.
Test all edge cases, especially for code copied from Stack Overflow.
Floating-point arithmetic is hard.
Do include proper attribution when copying code. Someone might just call you out on it.

Go to CP, instead.

As if the community was so interested in new icons 
Or does the "hundreds of" refer to the bug fixes?

98.97% of the suggestions were along the lines of: "Stop f***ing about with icons, and do something useful!"

Do you mean in the sense that they're so determined to not write perfect code that they just let kittens walk on their keyboards, then fix the errors until it compiles?

Quote: Languages like Java and C++ are notorious for requiring lengthy code snippets. C tends to be much more concise. Languages like Python and Go are arguably somewhere in between.
This paragraph from that article is an indicator of its quality - i.e. 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

I just wanted to post exactly the same comment. I guess it's a case of those who can - do, and who can't - teach. Just wonder why would CP repost reference to this article.

Quote: But if you want to write concise code that is also readable, Python might be a better choice. Python tends to be a bit more verbose, but its indentation rules can help to keep code readable, even if it’s written without a lot of care.
And, then ... I threw up.

When we analyze the things that drive culture and look for ways we can support other organizations who are making changes of their own, we consistently find that IT has an outsized number of opportunities to positively impact employee sentiment and loyalty—both of which are critical parts of any organization’s cultural transformation. Breaking news: Microsoft study finds using Microsoft software productive!

Yes IT has a lot of opportunities, but sadly they ignore them and mostly bother more than they help

I did a little digging and while I couldn't find exact specs, they were comparing user satisfaction and system performance of W10 computers vs W7 computers and iPads. I'll ignore the iPads as less apple vs oranges as apples vs brussels sprouts ; but my cynicism meter suspects that the w10 vs w7 PC stats mostly show 2019 vs 2014 PC performance and user satisfaction.
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?

The takeaway:
121% of office 365's Excel users are more likely to feel valued by their company.
Apparently, feelings are important; productivity and accuracy, not so much.
