My initial thoughts of this article was the training costs and non-production costs associated with non-technical people learning software applications to perform their job. I think it's a good move by the German organization to move back to MSFT. We'll be moving to Windows 10 about the same time. Hopefully by then the problems will be resolved.

I find it disappointing that they could not find equivalent applications in linux to meet the council operational needs. They basically had to build all of them from scratch and become a software house - not their primary job.

Researchers find 1.3 million weaknesses which could allow hackers to take advantage of corporate systems. Sloppy old code: when you care enough to not care enough
Some of the worst code was written with Microsoft's .NET framework, although applications developed in Java that were released more than six times per year had the very highest CWE densities.

The project sponsors don't realize that whenever they have big changes, that code smell enters the picture and when they say they need it NOW, it makes the code that much junkier.

Sloppy code can be written in any language.

I dont believe such numbers. But a lot of issues are to be closed.
My experience is that only "pain in the ass" helps resolving that issues.

As opposed to sloppy new code; which is usually of either the copy & paste variety or from right-click insert-crap.

Since its debut, Asgardia has attracted over 300,000 registrants, created a constitution and, as of this Sunday, launched itself -- all 0.5 TB of it -- into space. I know of a few people I'd like to launch into space, can we make them citizens of Asgardia?
