The only agile skill I need is in lining up another job when the current Agile project disintegrates into chaos.

What ever happened to careful contemplation? Knowledge? Other such mundanes?
It's a new take on ounce of prevention vs. pound of cure:
A big pile of worthless sh*t gives them the feeling something is being accomplished, even if it's a permanent state of debugging.

As CEO Satya Nadella nears the end of his first full fiscal year, Microsoft's transformation continues. The share of revenue from traditional software licensing has dropped, especially for Windows. But two new categories are growing fast. "The clouds prepare for battle In the dark and brooding silence."

Due to pressures of the market to produce software as fast as possible and at a low cost, many programmers are not doing what even a few years ago would be normal: writing their own original source code. "You never call, you never write"

If you hang out with programmers enough, one of the first things you'll notice is their very, very closely-held belief that their favored programming language is the only correct one. Because of those fools using the wrong language

I had morning coffee with a guy that I was meeting for musical reasons. It just so happened he is a coder too. He mentioned that he wrote in C#. I quipped that cliche' about C# being really VB with braces to wit he condemned my religion of C++ as something he wouldn't touch with a 10' pole. (or maybe a 10' dangling pointer).
I'll "lay hands" on him and see if I can turn him around.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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 read that article this morning and it reminded me of a discussion on CP the other day..
Will you give Swift 2.0 a try this year?[^]
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

Obviously he's "coding in tongues" which we know for what it is - raving hysteria.

My experience doesn't agree. Most programmers I know bemoan the deficiencies of languages more than praise their strengths. Most (good ones) are also aware that different languages suit different tasks.

“DevOps” is an interesting term. It is a bit like the word “accountability.” Everyone agrees it is important, but it means different things to different people. That, of course, is partly what makes it so popular.
Whaaaat's the deal with DevOps? Is it Dev or is it Ops? Or is it neither?

DevOps: using Amazon EC2 instances with overly complex Chef/Puppet scripts to migrate databases and update the development, test, QA, and production servers without any actual plan, where test and QA is done by the developers, and where the development server is useless because different teams continually fight over which branch is deployed on the dev server.
DevOps: claiming to "be Agile" because you tell your programmers to use sh*t tools like PivotalTracker, you hype Agile and those tools to the client, but then nobody actually uses them because they're such sh*t, and of course nobody really follows an Agile approach because they're all to busy fixing the f***ups of the previous team.
