From the article: Under the new process, Microsoft shares the interview questions in advance so that candidates can prepare ask for CODZ PLZ at CP.
It doesn't mention whether the new process will be animated or tied down (with ribbons), if candidates will be fully screened, if there will be puzzles involving baby blocks, or if candidates with glasses will be forced to remove them, to give them blurred vision.
Y'all ask me, it's just another pile of their "modern" effluent.

Each potential candidate will be given a new icon upon arriving for the interview. Their first clue that they will not be hired is that they will be referred to as a past MS dev framework that was abandoned just after wide acceptance was achieved.

Also unhirable: those who fail to immediately redesign the icon into something less appealing than the blandness presented to them, and then selling it as 'new and improved!'

When do we start noticing a change?
I guess they are hiring more people to polish their icons and release untested windows updates...

In today’s high-speed environment, being able to process massive amounts of data each millisecond is becoming a common business requirement. We are excited to be announcing that an internal Microsoft project known as Trill for processing “a trillion events per day” is now being open sourced to address this growing trend. For your 'billions and billions' of data points

Hey, Boss! Great news! We can now stream a trillion events per day!
Great! Connect it to the oracle db!

Every so often, analyst firms will release lists of the world’s most popular programming languages. Hint: rhymes with 'blow'

dice.com said: it doesn’t matter whether Swift (just to pick an up-and-coming language) occupies the tenth slot on one ranking, and the fifteenth slot on another; the fact that it places on all rankings should be enough for tech pros interested in mobile to give the language some consideration
So just learn every language in the top 15, and you'll be set?
If they were saying that, at least they'd be saying something.

Through a series of missteps and outright neglect, Microsoft essentially handed over the fate of its web browser – and its ability to shape the online world – to rival Chrome. The white flag of surrender was raised this month. They stuck with IE6 too long? Oh wait, that was the last time they lost the web.

Utter nonsense, giving trivial reasons, none of which are the kind of reason that motivate a company of that size to change direction so drastically.
It really is all about the data slurping.
MS can't get away with the kind of thing that google can, because it hasn't convinced half the people in the world that it's a friend that is working solely for their benefit.
By using chromium, they can claim that their hands are clean, during the next sixty scandals about privacy.

well thanks to them loosing the web that other people and companies could come up with other monstrosities like all the thousands of JavaScript frameworks...to say its all internal to Microsoft.. they went with developing azure and lagged behind in expanding internet explorer...

For some time now Microsoft hasn’t really invested much into the Microsoft Virtual Academy (MVA) site. The content there has been slowly aging and getting out of date. Microsoft has actually been investing in other learning avenues like the new Microsoft Learn site and EdX courses. That's awful! That's horrible. What's MVA?

I took a look at the version of the Microsoft Learn page that will be released in June.
It contains three links -- one to CP, one to SO, and one to google.

A security researcher has disclosed exploit code for a fourth zero-day vulnerability in Windows operating system in just as many months. The bug enables overwriting a target file with arbitrary data. Once they fix this, Windows will be 100% secure
In the words of the 'security researcher', "It's a lame bug."

|

So... Windows Update hasn't changed...

So she's a windows developer, then.

I find this openly comical. Windows will NEVER be secure. It's OS security model is openly flawed. Worse, there are so many MS developers working on different features, they don't even know if group A will break group B's code. Thus, when you hear things like:
1) "Edge is the most secure browser" you know they are just blowing it out their arse. They have no real way of knowing.
2) "Regular updates will keep Windows 10 secure" you know they are just blowing more air out of their arse. They still don't know.
Windows security is an oxymoron. Period.

Nothing is 100% secure. It's just a question of how secure or, rather, how insecure software actually is.

Well, sure, nothing is 100% secure, but I think we're talking orders of magnitude here. Security is clearly done by committee at Microsoft. How is it that Office can push out an update and then need a patch for a security flaw?
Meh. I freely admit to being obviously disgusted with Microsoft for the past year.

I think over time Microsoft applications have become more secure. But they'll never get to a point that they don't need patching.
But the same applies to web browsers, say. If you look at the release notes for Chromium, etc., they have the same kinds of vulnerabilities. Buffer overruns, use-after-free...
They too almost always need patching after their "major" version releases.
