If they could just hurry up and release VS 17.4 that'd be great.

Solid is a protocol that puts data under the control of individuals rather than corporations and governments. Adoption in the US is slow. Believe them or not, they are solid arguments
/sigh. Brain's not in the game(s) today, sorry.

They should print out all the documentation for SOLID in easy-to-read large type, and 'solidly' stick it up the arse of all the politicians, CEOs, and lobbyists who are against it. If there isn't enough documentation to be meaningful, make it a list of everyone who has been affected by data leaks throughout the years. That should get their attention.

The device was far along in development and expected to debut next year, according to a person familiar with the matter, but the project was cut as part of recent cost-cutting measures inside of Google. They've cancelled all their software projects, time to move to hardware
This is yet another example why I don't trust software companies that sell computers (as opposed to Apple-a hardware company that sells you some software to keep you tethered). Still not sure about Microsoft's mice

I love the fact that for years Microsoft has been pushing GUI interfaces on the public while at the same time offering command line access to just about everything. This is just the latest example.

Many of us have been on a lot of Zoom calls during the pandemic, but you might not know that Zoom also has its very own Slack- and Microsoft Teams-esque product called Zoom Chat. Does it auto-convert all the messages to "Can you hear me now?"

It's time to quit quitting on the quiet quitters | Computerworld[^]
Main points of the article inspire workers to sit down, shut up and wait.
You can tell a manager made up these ideas to resolve the issue:
Ideas for resolution from article
Open up the floodgates of communication between managers and employees about employee satisfaction, and drive clarity about how employees feel about their jobs.
Document and specify job expectations, so everyone is on the same page about workloads, work hours, performance, and metrics for success and failure. This is also necessary for remote workers, who need to be effectively managed without reliance on "management by walking around."
Double the efforts around career development, job training, and the cultivation of leaders within the organization. Work harder to promote from within so employees know that being actively engaged results in additional compensation and responsibilities.

They are great ideas.
However over 30 years of IT and I’ve never seen them implemented properly,
These are the fantasy that they just talk about all the time.
Just like…

I think we've all known someone like that.
Maybe a co-worker, maybe a customer or supplier.
Someone you really don't want to depend upon for whatever, because you know you're going to have to ask them to do that thing time and time again.
When they finally do it, it's usually of poor quality.
What I've always wondered is how these people get away with it.
I've called out two such people in the past, but never with good results.
Not even managers like a snitch, and what they like even less is not having noticed it earlier.
One was a trainee who liked to read gaming forums, online comics and podcasts a lot more than actually learning and doing his job.
The other watched Tour de France and other sports while working, but made a lot of silly mistakes that sometimes made it to production and ended up on my plate.
I expected "Thanks Sander, for bringing this to my attention, we'll look into it and handle the matter discretely."
But I got a different reply both times: "Like you always do your work so well!"
that, I'm not doing that again.

Wow I thought I was the only one who had that experience.
I asked my mgr (recently) about a person who causes more problems than help.
This dev has a service in prod that he says is 1 million lines of code.
My mgr said I cannot discipline him or correct him bec he might leave.
Meaning he’s afraid no one can support his code.
Weak!!!!

I had one trainee that couldn't not understand why a "-1" was needed to match the " user selection" [1, 15] in panel and the "place to go with the robot" [0, 14] in the plc.
I had to take over a project he was sent and I started the program again from the scratch reaching his point within 1,5 days (he had been there some weeks already)
He ended in a big OEM supplier because the project was about doing thing that not even he could do wrong (he managed to prove my boss wrong) and the best was... the client forced a raise on him because he could not earn so lees in comparison with the intern workers. That raise brought him higher than some co-workers and that pissed the hell out of half of the team.

I don't see how a dev gets to 1 million lines of code unless a lot was imported and added to using a copy-paste style of coding. A rule-of-thumb metric is that a dev can produce 50-75 lines of debugged code per day. At 50 lines/day, getting to 1 million lines would take 80 years on the job. Even if half of it is non-code (comments, blanks, etc), it would take 40 years. Inside almost every large system is a small system struggling to get out.

I agree with everything you say. I told my mgr that I was sure I hadn't written 1 million lines of code in my entire career (over 30 years now).
It shows how out of touch this person is.
