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?

Good news, I hope. Your ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif) may be a bit premature. M$ has a history of absorbing the windows-centric parts of acquired companies and ignoring or spinning-off the rest.

In the past, yes. But that's not the way they operate these days. In mobile, for example, they are now being criticised for delivering better products (or in some cases only products) for Android and iOS, rather than Windows Phone/Mobile. The cloud is becoming increasingly big and important to them and they need to interact with all potential consumers regardless of platform. It's economic realities.

Whilst not quite inevitable, this was always on the cards. That said, this is a smart move for both companies. Xamarin get closer integration with the Microsoft ecosystem, and Microsoft take a major step into cross platform development. A win-win outcome.

Are you currently developing your C++ projects in an older version of Visual Studio? If your reasons for avoiding the all-new features in VS 2015 are covered next, then read on: this post may have good news for you. All the new C++ features without all the new VS2015 bugs

The social network has just announced a brand new feature called Reactions (which we've already heard about a few times), which is essentially an extension of the Like button. 
Or as my Great Leader says, "News flash: Facebook introduces emoticons!!1!"

I have a reaction to facebook: done with a number of small soft paper squares, folded a few times and 'swiped' in an upward motion on my downward side.

That’s an easy career improvement goal to give oneself, but “become a kick-ass programmer” is not a simple goal. For one thing, saying, “I want to get better” assumes that you recognize what “better” looks like. "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better"

According to her profile - "Since 1992, Esther Schindler has made a living by translating from Geek into English. Find her on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+, where she’s sure to distract you from getting productive work accomplished." What would she know about coding?

A good programmer isnt a great software developer. Only writing superior code isnt enough: you need to communicate in a excellent manner want you made and bargain good interfaces, salaries and benefits. And also have a wundeful life "outside the coding universe"

You’re only as agile as your ability to ship frequently – and without drama. see: No true Scotsman fallacy

The likelihood of any lesson being learned is a function of the time between the cause and the pain - which is why people rarely burn themselves on a stove twice but more commonly purchase and eat very hot curries.
(i.e. yes you should move fast and break things but you should immediately know they are broken - not at the end of the next sprint)

"Shipping frequently" is great when you're in the prototyping and development stage, where "shipping" means putting your software in front of people (usually internal to the company) to test a new feature you just prototyped or implemented.
"Shipping frequently" when you have delivered an RTM is pretty much a sign of one or more of:
- a poorly designed product
- a buggy product
- a product with crappy UI/UX (pretty much every website, right? Except Code Project of course!)
- a product that doesn't meet customer requirements (not that the customer knew what they wanted)
in my opinion.

Well, there is a difference between "shipping frequently" and "ability to ship frequently".
To put things right: Do you frequently ship crappy products, or are you able to ship great products frequently?
Many companies do the first, hardly anyone can do the latter.
