Come down please! Don't compare your script dev what ever with what MS manages very successful (serves millions of users) with more or less no problems.

That is side-splittingly hilarious. "More or less no problems" my fat ass. They have a forum with thousands of bug reports and I will compare those two things if I damned well want to. It's just a question of magnitude and the scales are roughly proportional. Me (one guy) verifying a few hundred API functions versus Microsoft (with many thousands of guys) verify several thousand API functions. Plus, once the verification code is written the process of verifying is quite simple - click and watch.
The real absurdity of my problem is code using that API can't even link or load correctly, both my code and their sample code. As far as verification goes, that's about as easy to check as it gets.

So, you're saying you don't have much of an imagination?

When it comes to companies in a near-monopolistic position who don't do what I think is the right thing to do, yes, I do not have much of an imagination.
What it boils down to is occasionally my cynicism fails to overcome my idealism. Realism is somewhere in the middle of the two, but closer to the side of cynicism.

It’s been 18 years since the members of “The Agile Alliance” wrote this manifesto. "Everyone's a critic"

It entirely misses the point that because X does Y, doesn't mean that if everyone who does Y will become X.
Successful developers tend to have a forehead, but somehow they left that off their manifesto.

Amazon’s fulfillment centers are the engine of the company — massive warehouses where workers track, pack, sort, and shuffle each order before sending it on its way to the buyer’s door. "The beatings will continue until morale improves"

The report claims more than 70% of the entire attacks Kaspersky Lab caught are targeting “Microsoft office,” amongst which only 14% take advantage of browser issues. Very Believable Announcement
Seeing as how they practically train people to "drop your document security to zero" to get macros to work (at least at one of my work sites), it's not overly surprising.

That could be interpreted to be that Kaspersky does a terrible job at catching any other attacks.

So armed with a trusty regex, I set out to find all the interesting ASCII Art used in source code comments. I'll know it's art when I see it?

NASA, FEMA, and other national and international agencies are once again gearing up for a hypothetical asteroid impact preparedness scenario. Oh, they *say* it's a simulation. I'm ducking anyway.

Are they sending a simulated drilling crew up to the simulated asteroid?
