Perhaps if they allowed the toolbar to be customized.
(And at least made the logo/icon entirely different. That is was remarkably unstable until recently didn't help any. It's almost like Microsoft management doesn't know what they're doing.)

Starting today from $7 per user/per month, businesses of any size can purchase Windows 10 Enterprise E3 through the CSP program and take advantage of enterprise-grade security and management functionality.

If by "feedback" you mean things customers say that we agree with.
(No snark. Unfortunately, Apple, Google and Linux are worse.)

Quote: Unfortunately, Apple, Google and Linux are worse. 'Struth, at least on the first two. Apple "knows better" than their users, so they don't seem to put any interest in feedback. And Google... I don't even have an idea of how you could provide any (it's not like they monitor their forums or anything). I'd like to think that some of the Linux distorts accept feedback, but I have no experience there.

Apple is making a few small tweaks to its App Store Review Guidelines for developers ahead of the release of iOS 10 and macOS Sierra this fall. I guess they'll stop bragging about how many apps are in the store then?
|
|
|
|
|
Then they'll be down to what, 100 apps or so?

It has often been said (by me) that a professional software developer never stops learning. "Nam et ipsa scientia potestas est."

It has often been said (by me) that you learn something new every day -- if some day you don't learn something; you're probably dead.

What if one learns, at the end of the day, that they didn't learn anything all day?

Then one should at least find out what one didn't learn that day.
|
|
|
|
|
Or what if one learns, at the end of the day, that what they learned from the book/article they just read, or class they just took, is completely useless?

Nothing in the original proposition addressed the actual utility of the information consumed.
There - now, thanks to posting on CP you've made days quota!

Dumb article. Rather than learn a new computer language every year, how about learning the one you use? Where is the most important thing of all; WRITE CODE. Solve problems. Stop getting hung up on patterns and theories.
Rather than ask how a language feature works, how about writing a small console program and finding out? I'm still amazed at how few developers do this.

Participate in local user groups.
Used to be, user groups had actual users doing show-and-tell of either apps they've learned some cool tricks with, or programmers that demo some cool code.
Nowadays, its corporate guests doing a dog & pony of tech I don't need.
The fun of mingling with other geeks, arguing about duck typing vs. strong typing, creating group unity with every b*tching about Javascript, Microsoft, and Linux, those days are gone.
I miss those days.
What do we have instead?
Code camps. Who wants to hang out with a bunch of Jolt-frenzied child-n00b's writing an app by NPM'ing everything under the sun simply to print "Hello World" ??? Not I.

Clean Coder Blog: Yes. Of course. You should learn at least one new language every year. And if you do, you'll eventually come to realize that the languages start to become repetitive... So you'll learn new language to assert they are same. That doesn't add up. I see a waste of time here.
