While the title of the article might be mildly inflammatory, I thought it did a good job at looking at some of the aspects of TDD that drove me straight to BDD.

developers are increasingly required to take responsibility for all aspects of their code - from quality to maintainability, deployability, scalability and security.
So before Agile/DevOps, we were responsible for pretty much nothing? Ah, that explains it!

The distinction between security.txt and robots.txt is that security.txt will be used to communicate a company's security practices only, and is likely to be read by humans, rather than automated scanners. I'm sure nothing bad will come of conveniently sharing your email and phone number on the Internet

That's a great idea. Use robots.txt to tell everyone in the world directories and pages you don't want them to see and then use security.txt to allow spammers to get your email and phone number.

Therefore I propose a new standard file: passwords.txt. A file that will list all the passwords that are not allowed to be used by unauthorized people. A decisive blow to the hackers.

While it might seem like Agile isn't working for you, those might just be growing pains or easy mistakes to fix. Don't give up on Agile. Lack of flexibility?

Eclipse and Visual Studio run neck-and-neck in the PyPL popularity index of desktop IDEs, with Android Studio a distant third Because it wasn't silly enough to rank programming languages by web searches?

Ok, I'll launch the first sortie in this IDE war. 
Eclipse is the worst of the three.
Yes, I have used all three and Eclipse is the worst.
It is far easier in Visual Studio or Android Studio to manage a project.
Of course, I'm quite biased because I've used Visual Studio since Visual C++ 1.5 or something.
Have you ever tried to move the source from an Eclipse project (whatever they call it) onto another machine? It's quite terrible and failure-prone. Just for a simple thing like opening a project.
Eclipse, blech! 
I could not believe how much easier Android Studio was to use when it came out -- that's after a year of using Eclipse for Android dev.
yes, yes, Eclispe is used for other things (Java) but I'm guessing it is terrible there too.
Just because people use it doesn't mean that they like it.
So, I guess we've settled this then. The result is that Eclipse is the worst and I'm glad we all agree.

Ignoring that the core concept of the index is somewhat dubious, like almost all articles about the latest iteration of a bogo-index it's also missing the real story that the index has to tell in favor of month to month noise. 
For their IDE one, the big one is that Eclipse has lost ~half of its share since 2010 while VS has been holding steady for the entire 14 years the index has been running. It hasn't been any one big thing that's gobbled Eclipse's share either, Android Studio took about 40% of its share; most of the attrition has been at the expense of assorted minnows each taking a much smaller share.
