Redundancy. Your skills are for last year's technology even though the whole of the organisation's systems depends on it. We'd rather employ someone with no skills but who can post photos of his / her lunch on FaceBook.

I once had a boss who said that I should go intoi management. I told him the only way I'd go intoi management would be to fire his ass for making such a satupid suggestion. That was the end of the discussion and I worked for 20 more years and was the highest technical level in the company worldwide, SeniorGeoscience Advisor.

"Mmmm Pay"
That was blatantly obvious.
The actual hidden message is that what you'll be paying for is Half Life 3 because MS secretly bought the franchise from Valve.   
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

Just about every game player: "Hey Valve, do you remember that you have an IP worth at least $100 million just lying around doing nothing?"
Valve: "Whatever."

The team behind the popular open-source CMS Drupal is urging admins to update their sites to ward off a nasty bug that could leave their sites “highly compromised” to attackers, according to the organization. Oh good: it's been so long since there was a major vulnerability I thought the hackers were done

The site lets you upload working code for everything from websites to VR experiences, and encourages you to "remix" them regardless of your skill level. I'm sure it will meet YouTube's high standards for quality as well

Perhaps the funniest part of looking at the trend of “considered harmful” essays throughout the history of computer science is their tendency to fall into meta loops of considering “considered harmful” essays harmful. Harmful considered harmful
