The process of writing a television show typically involves a writers room and a lot of time, as humans figure out the plot and the dialogue that makes a show work. Then they came for the screenwriters and I did nothing as I was waiting for the next season of Stargate

No-code programming is shaping everything from gaming to website development, and soon it’ll have a role in machine-learning too. That's it then. Close up your IDE, we're out of business.

Security researchers have demonstrated a new Bluetooth relay attack that can remotely unlock and operate some Tesla vehicles. Beware of hackers running at you with batons?
Sorry - "relay attack". All I could think of.
"Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), an industry group that oversees the development of the Bluetooth standard, which acknowledged the issue but said that relay attacks were a known problem with Bluetooth" <- good job, fellows!

Forty-five years after launching, the Voyager 1 is still transmitting data to scientists on Earth, but there's a mystery issue corrupting the data. "Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it."

I think the real issue is that if one system is sending back garbage then how valid is the data from other parts of Voyager?

Why don’t we hear more developer voices in the conversation about “developer productivity”? "If I only could, be running up that hill"
OK, the article might just be an excuse for his sketches

In my experience, developer productivity is hampered by (in no particular order):
0) A lack of perceived ownership of the code - this is caused by overly atomic restrictions on what they develop, meaning a task like "develop a method in XYZ class named "MyMethod" that accepts this set of parameters, and returns this indicator/result". There is no creativity/imagination necessary to complete the task, or any insight as to why the method is needed, only the skill to write the method using language key words and available frameworks. Boredom is the mind-killer.
1) Over-communication from non-developers (management). Devs don't generally need the kind of communication imposed by the "agile/scrum" dev process. The more communication in which they are forced/compelled to participate, the less productive they are as developers.
2) Being sand-boxed into the "devops" labor category. We're not ops/admin people. We're developers. We are often saddled with diagnosing systems/infrastructure problems that we don't even have permissions to investigate, much less fix. It's generally a big time suck from a developer standpoint.
3) Non-developers (management/sale nazis) who think they know how to design a user interface. Trying to adapt an idiots view of a user interface into functional code is a nightmare, and more often than not, makes the code that much harder to maintain.
I'm very old-school. Point me at the problem, describe the desired solution, and leave me alone.You'll hear from me if I have a question, or when I'm done. The more you leave me alone, the faster I'll get done. It really is that simple, and doesn't need any diagrams, flowcharts, or fancy new-age development processes.

PREACH!
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
