Researchers from the University of Rochester have found the Wallis equation in quantum mechanical calculations of the energy levels of a hydrogen atom. More proof on the cosmic importance of pie
Oh wait, this is about the other one, isn't it?

In truth, Waterfall works for certain kinds of projects, but those projects don’t tend to move software around, and they tend to have a predictable process. Because it's going to come to you? (I'm not getting his metaphor there)

Three blind programmers. Three blind programmers.
See how they code. See how they code.
They all went over the waterfall,
which drowned them in soggy kanban post-its,
They scrambled and scrum'ed
But they weren't agile enough,
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
As three blind programmers?

After a rocky start, open-source and hybrid cloud initiatives have righted the ship. "Wait till the sun shines Nellie, and the clouds go drifting by"

I can see clearly now the rain has gone
You know what happens when clouds grow too big... it starts raining.

open-source and hybrid cloud initiatives have righted the ship.
All they've done is put more holes in the ship, you can't tell the ship from the water anymore.

Basically, JavaScript is everywhere nowadays and it’s growing, it’s here to stay for the next decades. We have cookies!

Why did it have to be JavaScript though?

|

Yeah, we could have had so much better: VBScript

Not to worry, there's a growing movement of "from language X to Javascript" translators. Eventually, Javascript will become something nobody actually codes in, much like assembly, IL, or VB.

Not to mention transpilers so that you can write Typescript instead of Javascript. This allows you to write Javascript that uses interfaces, classes and has Intellisense and hints in the Visual Studio IDE.

At least we're all in agreement then

I started programming in VB, although you're right in that I don't do that anymore (well, not very often anyway).

Although complete and utter crap can also be written in TypeScript or CoffeeScript (or any language)
At least it won't be complete and utter crap by default

The most promising thing on the horizon is Web Assembly - which will finally allow developers to write languages targeting the browser without transpiling to crapscript.
All the major browser vendors have committed to it (except crapple, but they are the new MS).

After you turn 50, you'll likely find yourself struggling for job security and respect. "I hope I die before I get old"
For those who think that's a little mean-spirited:
"I'm not trying to 'cause a b-big s-s-sensation.
I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-generation."

That's what this post is about: breaking all the eggs in C++, yet ending up with better eggs than you started with. Who needs backward compatibility anyway?
