As important as it is for organizations to continue to innovate their software products quickly and with quality, that cannot be achieved in today’s world without ensuring “psychological safety” for its development teams. Satisfied employees perform better? Mind blown.

The proposed 1,300-foot-tall lunar structure would spin three times every minute, generating Earth-like gravity for its inhabitants. Heavy, man

Well.. before dreaming of moon giga structure, perhaps first we need "an highway" to the moon, or some sort of low cost high volume massive number of space launchers...

Object-oriented and imperative programming aren’t going away, but functional programming is finding its way into more codebases. Because you need to look up the definition of monad as well

Trying to explain monads in normal everyday English is one of the hardest things I've had to write.

I applaud any software that is functional when I use it.

Really?
How many developers do understand the problems caused by global variables? My cow-orkers are very creative when it comes to creating equivalents of global variables (e.g. static classes with public variables, singletons with settable properties, ...).
And then you want to tell them to keep functions "pure"? They are not at all capable of understanding the problems introduced by side-effects...
Happy debugging!
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

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?

In 2015 a group of researchers asked 59 experienced engineers at Microsoft "What makes a great software engineer?". Here's what they found. "Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms"
Oh, wait. That's some other group.

None of them had a clue, did they?

There are some good reasons that test-driven development isn’t as widely used as it is discussed. "Everybody's talking at me. I don't hear a word they're saying"
