The update will probably go wrong... as many other already did.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

In this post, we’ll take a tour through some of the many improvements, big and small, that have gone into the .NET Core runtime and core libraries in order to make your apps and services leaner and faster. "Hey, buddy, how can I get this car out of second gear?"

I didn't see anything about new icons, or the use of Typescript (it is "eploding", afterall) in conjunction with .Net Core...

They're still optimizing the go faster stripes on the new icons ahead of the big reveal.

Tech support scams have always been a problem, but they typically were located on small web hosting services throughout the world. Researchers have now observed these scams increasingly moving towards the Microsoft Azure cloud platform for ease of deployment and inexpensive web hosting. Yay for "The Cloud"

Finally, someone is calling out Microsoft and their support scams.

When you leave your old job on good terms, you want to ensure a smooth transition to make life easier for your replacement. This succession planning checklist can help you to hand over the reins. Bridges burned? Check!

I document as I go. You should see the docs included in my MVC5 app project template. Over 30 HTML files, and half a dozen visio docs that describve what the code does, why it does it, and where to find the various components. I do admit to roundly trashing Entity Framework (that took two files). In many of the files, there are almost as many comments as there are lines of code.
Nobody will be able to complain (much) that I didn't document something. I've never been accused of not leaving enough transition documentation behind.

Other than EF, that sounds like a project I might want to inherit. 
As opposed to one recent job I inherited, where I had to track down the personal email address of the dev to shake him down for even the passwords he used on the system. I'm assuming that wasn't a "leaving on good terms" example.

At my last job, I left docs for every one of the 200+ SSIS packages I wrote (including the the source file being imported, the parameters sent to the package, and the associated stored procs that executed transform duties, and even the names of the stake holders), and as much as I hated doing it, documented all of the ETL stuff in the 20+ QlickView "apps" I wrote. Docs included docx, vsdx, and xslx docs as well.
I documented as I went, so the two weeks prior to me leaving was simply cleaning up and making sure I had covered everything. I guess I hope that the universe will pay me back in the next job I get (it has yet to happen, though).

More likely some newly hired kidiot will delete all your docs because all good code should be fully self-documenting and the stupid word docs, visio diagrams, and comments won't update themselves; and then a few weeks/months later will be desperately trying to contact you to explain how to fizzbuzz; resulting in an rant about stupid people showing up here.

I currently work in a no-comments environment with a huge codebase for software that is highly customisable.
The old guard seem to almost take pride in being able to exclaim that they do not understand what much of the system does 
While it's always a matter of degree I think comments are extremely helpful.

That's not fiction; sometimes you buy your coworkers something nice to eat, to say goodbye.

I take it project-transfers aren't being teached anymore?
Of course, the "industry" want devs that can negotiate and collaborate?

Absolutely! When I was working as an expat in Venezuela, I foresaw the impending disaster and decided it was timed to get out, but I no problem with the company that always treated me well, or my coworkers, many of whom I trained. I gave a 1 year notice and worked on the transfer of my duties. Years later I had a consulting job were the supervisor in charge was one of the people who took over for me. I was glad I had left on good terms!

It's the first tool that can directly translate speech from one language into another. Does this translation make me sound Belgian?
Yes, not a language. But it was the first thing that popped into my head.

An entire class of vulnerabilities in Intel chips allows attackers to steal data directly from the processor, according to new reports from a group of cybersecurity researchers from around the world. Intel, Apple, Google and Microsoft among other tech giants have released patches to address the flaws. Request permission to panic?
