An interesting point. Given I work almost exclusively in data management services, yeah, everything I write is glue: glue between the UI and the back-end, glue between the back-end and the DB, glue between incoming data (from CSV files to third party DB's to GIS data) to update our data, etc.
And some of this stuff is held together not by glue, not by duct tape, but by bubble gum and fairy dust.

Oh wait... there was that other unit, wasn't there?

A new wearable device turns the touch of a finger into a source of power for small electronics and sensors. I have become a new power plant
Not sure if I'm renewable though.

Oh sure, little things like this make you more comfortable, but I think security and stability would also be nice.

Wouldn't it be useful if they just released a bug-fix updates?

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?

Initial thoughts about target typed new expressions in C#9. Are they good? Are they bad? Does "it depend" on the scenario? Let's take a look. Blurb b = new();

I would have been interested in reading the article, except that the typeface and text color chosen rendered the text effectively invisible.
