Isn't it nice to have the "experts" validate what everyone already knows? (Like when the weatherman comments about it raining in Seattle)

No matter how little code is involved, nine times out of 10, IT managers need to stay on top of what users are doing with application development. Write someone a program, and you've got a support problem for life

Was this article written by a manager fearing for its job?
Because in 9 out of 10 are the managers who bring the problems to the application development.
I have had times when even going with concrete "this or that" questions no answer received (damn, at least throw a coin... I just want you to say something because it is your damn call)
Or the opposite, when you want them to say nothing because "this is only going to bring problems, that would be better" and they managed to make it even worse...
If the manager is good, then it is really nice and I want him to watch over me, but sadly most of the times, I prefer to go "unmanaged" than to be misguided or hindered.

Only a third of consumers trust 'big tech' companies more with their data compared to smaller, independent or local companies according to a new study from API management platform Axway. And many of them post about their mistrust on Facebook and Twitter

Why do I think that there will be a couple more changes?

Why? We developers never make misteaks.

Icons, themes, and fonts will be updated "for a modern, updated experience."
Yeah! Another set of icons.

Quote: “A package manager is designed to help you save time and frustration,” Microsoft’s Demitrius Nelon explained when the firm announced its plans for WinGet. “Essentially, it is a set of software tools that help you automate the process of getting software on your machine. You specify which apps you want installed, and it does the work of finding the latest version (or the exact one you specified) and installing it on your machine.”

According to AppGet developer, Microsoft got the implementation details from him with the promise of a PM position to lead the WinGet team. What takes the cake was Microsoft HR department did not even reimburse his travel expense.

<sigh> I used to be excited about new Windows updates.
Nowadays I just wonder what they are going to barf up next.
It seems to me that aspects of the computer industry (which of course is several different industries, from mobile to desktop to software, etc.) should have reached maturity by now. That is to say, ongoing change should no longer be driving the industry (or industries). We should be looking at stability now, at long term predictability.
This is not something that many people want to hear. How will phone Apple make billions more if they are expected to stabilise their phone range, rather than bring out pointlessly new, and pointlessly more expensive, models all the time? How will the Microsoft Office business make yet more money if they can't bring out pointless new features? For example, I'm currently running O2019 but it offers me nothing of consequence or significance over and above O2007.
Yes, I know that businesses need to make money. Shiny and new is the obvious way to do that. But if we really had a mature industry, we would want fewer new and shinies, and more well-tested and predictable. Sadly this would encourage vendors to move even more to the subscription model than is currently the case in an effort to keep the income stream flowing. All the same, the entire industry should have grown up by now imvho, and the concept of LTS versions of software should be redundant. Everything should be LTS by now. Instead, we are mostly driving forward the mantra of obsolescence by design.
Does this mean I am getting old or that I am just grown up? Who knows.
