So you get "the hallway effect" without being around each other.
Is the zoom call on your working machine, or a side one? (as I hate to be on camera during meetings, let alone all day)

Zoom is run from our personal machines. We don't run our cameras, and our mics are muted until we have something to say.

For over two decades, the C# programming language has allowed developers to build secure and robust applications within the .NET ecosystem. Moving the dev team on to something else?

No, they found out that the devs working on sql extensions were quite adept at making new icons and round corners on boxes that were round back in 2001.
I reckon this would be like NASA finding people that can re-learn how to build a Saturn 5 rocket, or lunar lander.

If you're worried about privacy, it might be time to cover up your front door's peephole. Beware of Peeping Toms with lasers
As well as single-photon avalanche photodetectors, and a lot of computing power. Or just anyone from Stanford.

Most people already have alexa, echo, siri or things like that... no big concerns about privacy.

Exactly why I don't have any of the above.
Now I've got to worry about blocking keyholes and windows against lasers ...

Visual Studio 2022 seeks to greatly improve your overall development experience, and we’re moving forward with that journey in improving VS extension writing and usage today! I'll tip my hat to the new extension model...

Is it only me? Or did someone from marketing take over the management of VS Team?
I fear they are trying to make it soooo cool and extensible, that will end breaking one of the few really, really good products they have.

When it comes to remote work, security is often the last thing on the priority list. The other 9% were doing it anyway

When it comes to remote work? Hah...
Security has been dropped down to the bottom of the list in most business, no matter in which aspect.
First when a company gets hit (and I mean hit hard) there is maybe a change of mind.

Google on Wednesday ramped up cloud collaboration tools for businesses, expecting "hybrid" work routines to remain even after the pandemic has ended. So we'll be powered by both electricity and gas?
The addition of electricity to my office will definitely help the ... ambiance.

Visual Studio Code is now using machine learning to detect what programming language is being used in a pasted-in file and then automatically set the appropriate mode. Good luck with this one: for(i=0;i

LG says it’s developed a new material that can create displays with “a surface as hard as glass and folding parts as flexible as plastic.” Is that a folding phone in your pocket, or do you just have too much disposable income?
I guess that's more of an "and" question.

If I wanted such a big display I would buy a tablet...

Technical debt impacts the whole company, but it especially affects engineers as more tech debt means more bugs, performance issues, downtime, slow delivery, lack of predictability in sprints, and therefore less time to work on new exciting projects. Declare technical bankruptcy?

I love technical debt. No employees want to work on "old stuff". Meanwhile, I'm paying off my mortgage.
Technical debt is a buzzword that I believe has no real meaning.
