To some of us older coders, it does seem that history keeps repeating itself, adopting new names for old concepts, and frequently encountering the same pitfalls.
To be honest though, I find this more with frameworks than languages. Actually, I find very few real new features in languages, with odd exceptions (like lifetimes in Rust).

As the head of engineering at Atlassian, I’m part of a lot of interview panels (Like, a lot). I know I’ve got an above-average candidate sitting across from me when they start asking questions about the team they’d be joining. 'Will I be paid in many large, unmarked bills?', isn't one of them (heard from a friend)

I suppose one of his questions for candidates is: do you enjoy working for a company which seems intent on ensuring its products are never great?

It's always depressing reading those articles. My answer is "Nope!" to those 8 bullet points. So why do I work where I work? Aye, there's the rub!

I have determined that for myself the two most important questions I would ask are:
- Define leadership in one sentence or less.
- Define teamwork in one sentence or less.
If they can't adequately answer these two simple question, run.

I would demand a complete sentence - none of this "or less" nonsense. Far too many people speak in sentence fragments as it is.

Microsoft continues to advance the development of Visual Studio 2017, and their latest preview of 15.8 shows some important new features that will benefit most developers. Good news for people that edit a lot of carets?

Don't see "Fixed Intellisense crashing issue" on the list. (To be fair, support has maintained that there is no such bug and you can't fix what isn't broken. [Sarcasm tag])

A person's fingers leave thermal residue on keyboard keys that a malicious observer could record and later determine the text a user has entered on the keyboard, according to a recently published research paper by three scientists from the University of California, Irvine (UCI). Looks like his password has a lot of backspaces in it?
