As developers, we all like to believe we’re more than just “code monkeys” — those interchangeable, expendable cogs in the software-making machine. But to be more, we have to bring more. Repeat as needed: "It depends"

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A few months ago, a young man asked me for advice, 'Which language should I learn to get a well-paid job?'
My immediate response was: There are two outright terrible languages out there: Javascript if you want to work in Web development, Python for the rest. You must have at least one of the two on your CV, preferably both. Hopefully, that is just to get a job, and you get an opportunity to work with better languages!

I think Rigby hit it on the head:
Quote: To be fair you can't expect a small company like Microsoft to be able to afford enough programmers and testers for a niche OS like Windows. They really do have to pick and choose what they can dedicate resources to. It's not like they had a perfectly good taskbar already.

It seems obvious, but code isn’t only written for machines: it’s written for people, too. Overlooking this fact can cause problems. It was the Booch of times, it was the Wirth of times

After repeatedly just being told that "literal programming" is good without an explanation what it actually is (just repeated buzz words of keeping prose and code somehow together), I decided to stop reading, some where in the middle of the long content-free article.
