In an attempt to improve workflow between programmers and other departments, some companies bring IT teams, security staff, and even customer-service reps into the coding process. Because we all know many coders have a lot of empathy
Hopefully this link works - it does a silly Cloudflare check, but it works for me in multiple browsers.

With that mix, I understand the need for the security staff.

I'm a hardcore advocate of such programs and things, but truly not because of the self-interest of empathetic understanding, that's just a bonus. It helps just about anyone in any role do a better job at it because there are so few jobs anymore that don't somehow involve a computer somewhere.
I think GE's CEO (and others, who've said/attempted similar) generally have it right.
Quote: every new hire at the 305,000-person company will learn to code. “It doesn't matter whether you are in sales, finance or operations,” he wrote on LinkedIn on Aug. 4. “You may not end up being a programmer, but you will know how to code
Especially now moving towards AI eliminating supplementing and multiplying the need for programmers by lowering the bar... It will be even more important that everyone starts to grok just wtf is going on with all these 1's and 0's that literally impact so many facets of so many lives on the planet every day.

Totally agree with your sentiment. But some employees will fail to learn how to code, it's inevitable.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Over the past six months, there has been a significant increase in malware attacks targeting Microsoft SQL (MSSQL) Server as an intrusion method. Hackers ... uh, find a way

😲had huge shock, thinking I had been for years thinking I knew what VBA short for, the horror of read Virtual Basic for Applications, wtf, and then checking myself that no, this writer just goofed.
yeah, and now I also just realised article about MSSQL, not MySql. Makes so much more sense 🤣🤣

According to one measurement by one firm, Linux reached 3.07 percent market share of global desktop operating systems in June 2023. You know what this means!

Indeed! 2024 will the Year of Desktop Linux!

Just like restarting a router fixes network problems (most of the time), reinstalling Windows is considered a universal cure for most software issues and bugs. You break it, you fix it

What happens when Windows Update is itself the problem?

The team will be holding a Twitter Spaces chat on Friday. He'll have to start an even bigger company next to get the question
I guess it won't be looking on Twitter to get the answer then?

Deducing this (P0847) is a C++23 feature which gives a new way of specifying non-static member functions. *squints* *scratches head* *reads again* Okaaaaaayyyyy?

I'm wondering why they keep inventing new things to stick in the language? Are there really that many edge cases that need a new feature to handle?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Quote: The reasons for allowing this may not seem immediately obvious, but a bunch of additional features fall out of this almost by magic. These include de-quadruplication of code, recursive lambdas, passing this by value, and a version of the CRTP which doesn’t require the base class to be templated on the derived class. Edge cases for pedants, though I'm being a bit unfair. I've found no compelling use cases (in my code) for recursive lambdas, passing this by value, or the CRTP, but that doesn't mean there aren't systems that can make effective use of these. That said, <thread> is still for toy systems; and they only recently got around to implementing <stacktrace> , still don't support sockets, and seem to have given up on integrating SIGSEGV and the like with exception handling. They seem to have lots of experience with things like the STL but not that much with serious systems.

Imagine this scenario: you’ve built a new tool or service for software developers and engineers. Now you’re faced with a dilemma: what’s the best way to get it out into the world? "One potato, two potato, three potato, four..."
Or potato, however you prefer to pronounce it.

Not the point of the article, but my criteria is:
1. The least # of tools possible yet maximizing the benefit of the ones I choose. So pretty much, Notepad++, IrfanView, Visual Studio, SSMS, WinSCP, Filezilla, and if I have to VS Code. And I avoid 99% of open source tools like the plague.
2. Apps - I guess I listed apps above, lol, but apps are tools. And again, avoid open source apps unless they are proven - viewed as an industry standard, long life, and does exactly what I need. Same with tools.
And to the point of the article, I don't write tools for the general coding public - I don't have the infrastructure in place for support, maintenances, dealing with bug reports and feature requests. Blech.
I write "ideas" and people can take them or leave them.
