You forgot the WD-40. With a hammer, duct tape, and WD-40 I can fix anything

Of course you can convert them. There may be some data loss in the process, but Pete's Patented Squeezy Data Blender Algorithm will do the trick nicely. With this, I can convert from any format to any format with only (potentially) significant loss of data

Please write an article about that

And the Squeezy bit compresses the data nicely, or just throws it away if it won't fit.

Simply stated, you cannot convert 'anyone' to 'developer'.

How about ...
Employee anyone = new Employee(random(name));
try
{
Developer developer = (Developer) anyone;
}
catch (exception e)
{
throw new cannotConvertAnyoneToDeveloperException();
}
Or use Python, there is bound to be a package in Python explicitly for this conversion

Of course you can; it's just data. So you need to roll your own parser/formatter/converter?
The deer-in-headlights look is natural from the new guy when they realize this, and have no clue where to begin.

Depends, actually. If Type 1 and Type 2 are simple types (int, long, float, string, etc...) then yeah, no sympathy for those developers.
If Type 1 and Type 2 are large classes with no common inheritance hierarchy? I could understand a novice developer not knowing where to start with that problem.

I have a kind of OCD with updating all my software.
Yesterday night (8 hours ago, since now it is still the night played Overwatch late!  ) there wasn't much to updates....
But now (at 4AM)
Overwatch, Visual Studio (2 updates), ESO, and Steam all want to have big updates!!!
What is going on?! 
|
|
|
|
|
Other updates won't get past the Windows 10 Anniversary Update that's going on, on this machine right now.

I am pretty sure BattleNet and Elder Scroll Online will still update!
(they have little to do with Microsoft)

Oh, now I get it!
one more (long awaited) update!

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.
