No, happy people are more productive. Someone who is not happy will not be as motivated.
Doesn't mean that you can increase production by increasing happiness though; the mood is often the result of work, not the other way around. It also seems logical that people who are confronted with less problems, less things that explode, and fewer unreasonable customers might be somewhat happier doing their tasks. Someone who dreads to talk to the customer will find an excuse not to pick up the phone today and postpone it.
The thing that was surprising is the idea that we had to wait until the development of "Agile" before we realised this. Good someone invented this "agile" thingy.

Happy: working with smart people that are mutually supportive, as opposed to working with idiots that drag the whole team down.

There’s nothing wrong with app install ads, but too often now, you click on a mobile search result, and when the site loads, a giant app install interstitial pops up that prompts you to install that site’s app. "Permission to sing boisterously, sir?"

A simple bug in Visual Studio meant that source code that was destined for a secure and private source code repository was instead published to a public repository. What followed was a sequence of events which left me with a $6,500 bill. "This is my private life. I have no friends to fear."

Well, Hanselman's on vacation (and re-marrying apparently), Phil Haack left (for GitHub, though), and The Gu got promoted.
So yeah, maybe you're right.

FWIW, it's actually a bug in the VS Git Extension, which is a separate project not maintained by MS.
While the patch[^] looks like an ...ahem... misbehavior of some viewmodelbindingstuff, it's pretty appaling to consider that this option might not have been tested.

Sorry, but in my opinion this is actually his fault. He checked in an unencrypted access key to a repository (private or public does not matter). Additionally he completely relied on the GUI. I would always check for a working software, especially with a new setup. Finally his reaction was way too naive.
Blaming it now on Microsoft or the (free) GitHub extension is understandable, but does not take away the fact that he is responsible for his actions.
Note: Private on GitHub means "not for all GitHub users". It does not mean "exclusive for you". Hence if somebody hacks the GitHub server or has administrative rights, he will be able to see your (private) repositories as well. Checking in unencrypted keys there is just foolish.

Agreed. Private or public doesn't matter, the cloud is just not the place to store sensitive information.
|
|
|
|
|
Agreed...it's not that hard to install a Git server on your own box and use that instead.

Couldn't agree more! 
|
|

I agree, but it's still a pretty serious bug in the GitHub extension software.
If I delivered such a bug to my clients, free or not, I might lose my job

Why, because of the big runaway of users after Win10?

You'll need to practice ahead of time, but the rest is fairly simple to make your passwords not only easier to manage but also more secure. Or just do what I do and use 'password' everywhere

Sooo... when a site says my password expired and I have to set a new one? 
Another shortcoming would be sites with names that are too short to produce a proper password (HP.com anyone?) - how do you even know what the correct length is? When setting the password, it may tell you the minimum length, but not when trying to login. Or do you just always pad it to some length you expect is "good enough"?

Simple! Come up with an entirely new algorithm, then memorize which sites use which algorithm. So much easier!

Or, go back through every site, setting new passwords based on the new key...

Fun! I live for that crap. 
Actually though, I don't know if any site has every reset my password without me asking it to.
Hmm... now that makes me wonder...
<rhetorical>Why do we enforce changing our passwords at work so often? </rhetorical>

I have an Ebay account. I haven't used it for quite a while. I logged in a few days ago. And Ebay said my password had expired and I had to set a new one. 
OK, so, maybe they saw that I hadn't set a new password for a while. Maybe they saw that I hadn't logged in for a while. But, maybe they store passwords in plain text and saw that it had low complexity!

I actually know the answer to that question. It is because EBay was hacked quite some time back and they forced everyone to reset. And, your point about forcing resets is a very good one.

I use something with "horse staple".
