Training.
Lots of companies cash in on any trend in computing and cobble together training courses to extract money from IT departments.

There is no silver bullet in software development. There will always be new ways of doing things, approaching and solving problems, designing software etc. Some of these approaches are more appropriate in certain contexts than others.
OOP has been extraordinarily successful by allowing the human brain to deal with complex problems through such things as abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance etc.

Purportedly, the market opportunity for the Internet of things is gargantuan -- but development in the space clearly isn't paying off yet. People don't care about things?

Computer programmers are a weird bunch. They go around telling the rest of the world who can and can’t be a programmer. No 'true' programmer would think that

He's arguing against a case that doesn't exist. I've never read or heard any developer making such a statement as this. Therefore his entire article is a non sequitur.

Agreed! Seems like he's trying to get more clicks in an attempt to increase the chance of people buying his book. ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

There are some devs who certainly project such an attitude. E.g., "if you can't write an OS in assembler you're not worthy." I'm exaggerating a bit but that recent survey on which programming language to learn first had a whiff of that.

It's the internet, everyone writes in extremes 
I have come across one or two people like that in contracts though, although most people quickly learn to ignore them. I worked in one place where a couple of guys like this were handed control of the entire project; needless to say, the project never got delivered and cost the company a substantial amount of cash (tens of millions of pounds)

When hitchBOT the hitchhiking robot started his journey in Boston two weeks ago he wanted to see the entire country. Unfortunately, he never made it out of the Northeast. "Holly came from Miami, FLA. Hitch-hiked her way across the USA"

"But America is clearly a hard land for our robot brothers and sisters."
Yup, thanks Philly, One bad apple.......

Philadelphia is fine. But robots ain't got no place there. So stay out, robots.
This is your warning.  We had to make a 'xample of this here hitchBOT.

This is why I am calling on The Government to replace each human in Philadelphia with a Robot. Robots are kinder and gentler and never would've committed this heinous act.

Capitalising on the update fervor, some scammers are now sending users an email about the free upgrade to Windows 10 which, in fact, is an attempt at locking you out of your data - pending a ransom amount, of course. "There's a sucker born every minute."

Sadly, it seems there is a scam artist born every minute to take advantage of them too.

Just to clarify, do you mean those who fall for the scam, or those who install Windows 10?

Microsoft has introduced what it calls Windows Update Delivery Optimization, which works similar to a torrent, hosting the install files on local PCs and then propagating them to other PCs on either your local network or the internet. Plz send torrentz

I am starting to feel uTorrent was a better client than Windows Update, at least I can remove the ones I don't like.
