Microsoft announced in June that developers would soon be able to update software distributed by the new Windows 11 Microsoft Store via in-app updates instead of relying on the platform's update process. Good thing no one uses those anymore

It's an honest mistake that could even fool the human eye for a split second. They just want you to slow down and enjoy the view

Could it be that, four decades after object-oriented programming hit the masses, technology is outgrowing this paradigm? Again?

Edge cases and tenuous arguments. And the article mentions Erlang, a functional programming language.
I'll tell you a story. A major competitor used Erlang, and we had rewritten using OO. When our company went under for various stupid and nefarious reasons, that competitor acquired "our" product (I left a few years after the rewrite and was no longer there). The reason for doing this is so that customers have to replace the product that will now--so sad!--be discontinued. But our major customer refused and chose to fund the product directly. Such was the difference in functionality and responsiveness.
Functional programming has its uses, but mixing two paradigms is difficult, so you generally have to focus on one.

If your company has yet to embrace AI, you’re in a race against the clock. And by my calculations, you have just three years left. I'll just pull an all-nighter the day before it's due
And by some strange coincidence, this opinion brought to you by someone who's "co-founder and Head of Growth at AI services firm"

Imagine getting your paycheck, buying groceries, and paying your rent, all using fake money called PrimeCoin or something. In Bezos We Trust
Yeah, I know he's not in charge anymore, but no one remembers who the new guy is yet.
Jammy? Jazzy? Something like that? (no peaking)

I’ve worked with many software developers, some of them fresh out of college and others seasoned professionals. This article lists some of the traits these people seem to have in common. Habit 0: Avoid lists of "good" habits
At least that's the one I tend to follow (whether I'm highly effective is up to debate)

Surprise... at least is not totally bullsh1t.
I could even say that he has some points.
But...
Those points still are no warranty of being effective.

It's a decent list, though some of them are basically platitudes that could use more elabortation than can be expected in the typical blog post.
The one that I'd take some exception to is "Avoid premature optimization". In fairness, he mentions loop unrolling or caching as examples. Great. But at the other end of the spectrum is code that spawns a thread for every little thing, or repeatedly opens and closes a file while editing it, and so on. This kind of nonsense will have to be cleaned up later, so coupled with this rule should be one not to carelessly write inefficient code.

Our July 2021 release features mostly minor bug fixes. Does it also put a bow on it?

Methinks they never worked in a publicly owned corporation. These words are dangerous in that environment.

Interesting, because my experience was different. I found that being candid was best. If I didn't know, why pretend otherwise? And if I did know, and therefore disagreed with something, no matter who said it, I didn't hold back.

Knowing if water is safe to drink could be as easy as putting a few drops on your smartphone's screen. Finding contaminated water may void your warranty though

I can't really imagine that it will work with all possible problematic water, at least not for a long period of time. What might bring a really dangerous sense of false security.
