Not when it means they'll be blindsided by the new taskbar on the next PC they buy and come whining to about how Windows 10 Wii (pronounced 'we') is screwed up and we need to fix it for them. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I learned an early lesson in standards, how consensus on something very small can enable (in fact may be required to enable!) something very large. And now you have 15 standards
You know where the original is...

So... another way to tell it is... if you miss something here is how to avoid getting the update?
All is a matter of perspective

Just over half of developers feel that security policies stifle their innovation and only about a third of developers reported that they are thoroughly educated on the security procedures they are expected to execute, according to a new report by VMware and Forrester. And many of the others just keep innovating new security problems

The way I see it, a *good* developer can still innovate while adhering to security policies. Without even breaking a sweat.

A simpler approach—good data, SQL queries, if/then statements—often gets the job done. Done.

Google Cloud just became a bit more friendly for developers using its platform to distribute apps to enterprise customers. They updated the icon?

That'd be going after the manager market...

By the time we reach 2023, more than half of companies will have moved to a subscription-based model for their software products, a new report from Revenera claims. This newsletter will still be free, but invoiced on a quarterly basis
*Narrator's voice*: It won't be invoiced.

Thanks to the rise of hybrid workplaces and data-driven businesses, a question that is getting a lot of attention is whether tools for monitoring the workplace’s productivity are either necessary or effective. "The beatings will continue until morale improves"

Tell the bosses proposing these measures that they need to flagellate themselves for many hours a day and many months before the proposal will be considered. The employees get to specify the tools of flagellation.

GitHub Copilot, described as an "AI pair programmer," debuted this year with a splash, amazing developers with its ability to supply chunks of code when a user is typing in Visual Studio Code and even generate whole applications solely through typed commands. Then they came for the other AI and I did nothing, as I was waiting for the AI-AI cage match
