The United Nations has failed to get countries to agree how international law applies to cyberspace, so a new group is stepping up. "If you have a problem... if no one else can help... and if you can find them... maybe you can hire... The A-Team."

Windows 10 Pro for Workstations is a high-end edition of Windows 10 Pro, comes with unique support for server grade PC hardware and is designed to meet demanding needs of mission critical and compute intensive workloads. Looks at calendar. OK, not April 1. Looks at calendar. OK, not 2000.
Checks again to make sure it's not April 1. Maybe my calendar is wrong?

Exactly. Workstations? I haven't heard that term in years. Maybe there's a group of developers at Microsoft that they never let out of some sub-sub-basement.

They should be in that year's styles and colours, after all.

Last month, some of the leading names in quantum technologies gathered at the semi-annual International Conference on Quantum Technologies in Moscow. Someone missed out on a grant?

Sounds like yet another case of someone trying to act smarter than they really are.

Quantum shift happens.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

When I took programming classes, one professor offered this piece of advice: whatever you do, don’t work on a payroll application. Why not? Because if you screw up your company’s payroll, everyone you work with is going to hate you. Usually the previous one

Some advice to the professor; don't work on medical applications if you tend to screw up.

Today I am proud to introduce the Coco Framework, an open-source system that enables high-scale, confidential blockchain networks that meet all key enterprise requirements—providing a means to accelerate production enterprise adoption of blockchain technology. For all your buzzword needs

That looks much tastier than the framework.

Open source eh?
And the source would be where???
Wow, reading the white paper and reading that "announcement" more carefully, this is total vaporware, depending on other people to contribute to their concepts. How ridiculous.

Software development is more than knowing what APIs to call or basic syntax. Here’s the whole picture of what app development really is. "Act nice, act nice and gentle to me."

Oh, I just loooove these InfoWorld posts. 
Everything you do should produce data that lets you make further decisions.
BS. Data is meaningless if presented to the user in unintelligible ways. It's the user that guides the process, not the data. But my comment is out of context (just goes to show how poorly the article is written) because the context appears to be more related to the previous sentence:
This means you need tests to prove your code works, and you need processes around your code that produce data that prove you’re not reverting code.
That in this case, the "data" is little more than unit tests. More BS. Unit tests do not prove that my code works, it only proves that it passes the tests I wrote. It still may not work, particularly in production environments, particularly in multi-user / multi-threading / cloud / distributed / etc. environments under real load / work / garbage in conditions.
The best software developers have empathy for others who have different roles, interests, and stresses on them.
Heh. Arguably true, but ironic because most software developers I've experienced in my 30+ years in this industry are introverted, self-centered, egotistical asses. Why do you think they got into software development in the first place???
Your job is to communicate with the next person reading it. Finding the best way to say it may require empathy.
Oh lord. So my code comments should read like:
void async GoJumpInALakeAsync(...)
your software is doomed to reflect your team and its communication structures. Process is the structure of that communication.
Sorry, but my experience has taught me that the more processes that are in place, the worse communication is, and the quality of any communication suffers. Lots of war stories I could tell about that one.
The best organizations I’ve worked in recognize the people who made things happen first and foremost regardless of their role in the organization.
I totally agree. On the other hand, all those structures and processes fosters an environment of roles and not crossing role boundaries, resulting in a stifling environment which manifests in internal websites for creating tickets to the IT department for installing software that takes 4 weeks to get processed, only to receive a denied notice. True story.
Everyone can learn from everyone
Let's cut the PC crap. That's total BS, unless "I just learned what an idiot you are" counts as learning.
When mentoring young developers I always emphasize that you shouldn’t prove yourself right, but to prove yourself wrong.
Oh bother. Mentoring isn't about proving anything. It's about guiding the mentee to solve a problem. The solution may be different from what I came up with, which becomes another mentoring opportunity, varying from "let me show you how the language/framework can do that step for you" to "here's another option, what do you think the pros and cons are to that approach?" depending on whether it's a hard skill learning moment or a soft skill architecture/algorithm moment.
Well, that was fun.
