Test Driven Development promotes the idea of understanding what you are trying to build before you start building it
Building something before you understand what you are trying to build - now there's the real reason for why IT projects still fail. 
It exposes weaknesses in requirements, in the architecture, and even in your test infrastructure before you start trying to build something.
Ah, right. By the time you've tested all that, you've practically built the thing you're supposed to be testing. Particularly when the reality is that requirements shift as pieces of the project come online, and more importantly, time marches on and requirements often change during the development process as a result of external, uncontrollable shifts in markets and technologies.
Funny how you could take that exact same sentence as a reason for why TDD fails!

Workers who specialize in artificial intelligence also saw big jumps in demand for their expertise. Are the jobs also virtual?

Given that it will be coming from a base of near zero, it doesn't take much to be "fastest growing". Just after Occulus released, it must have seen a near infinite growth spurt (as a percentage).

Sputtered magnetic layer, lubricant, and new heads enable massive 200Gb/inch density. The Visual Studio team is considering it to distribute the new build
Might need two cartridges though.

So the Internet, at an estimated 1.2 million terabytes, would take, umm...
1,200,000 terabytes
1,200,000,000 gigabytes
/ 200Gb per inch
= 6 million inches
/ 63360 inches per mile
= ~ 95 miles.
Hmmm.

 Now that's funny!...mostly 'cause I recently had to learn how to make a USB bootable and get the bios to boot from it. After a couple dozen tries (and a re-burn) I found the winning combination to install Server 2016. Why all the trouble? The iso is too large for a DVD! I remember when OS's would fit on a CD with room to spare. Progress I guess.

Despite new methodologies and management techniques meant to head off spectacular failures, critical technical initiatives still fall flat at an alarming rate. Here’s how IT can learn from its mistakes. Because you haven't switched to this week's Silver Bullet(tm) yet!

... and then there's the meeting I was in today, for a "new" project, except they (again) want to start by cloning the crappy foundations that I want to eliminate.

I thought it was because execs think that IT is unskilled and underfunded, and the products created have a crap UX, and nobody knows how to promote and support the products. 
I read that somewhere.
