Quote: Hiring or building new competencies, for example in user experience (UX) architecture and API product management, will create an innovative culture that’s cool again. Developers want to know they are using the latest techniques and best practices to enable innovation and agility in their organization.
All I read there was blah blah blah blah blah blah guff! (In the UK 'guff' can mean meaningless words as well as a silent fart - here I use it to mean both at the same time)

Cool is being the person who creates those innovations and "best practices" (which often aren't, harhar), not someone who drinks the KoolAid and uses them.

A new version of Microsoft's integrated development environment (IDE) goes live today with the release of Visual Studio 2019 and its cousin Visual Studio 2019 for Mac. And many more features you either don't need or won't find

Seriously, other than the [angelic chorus]new icons[/angelic chorus], I'm hoping that it's really "it should be VS 2017 v15.10, but we had to change the name to keep the pointy hairs happy by letting them shake down anyone not buying VS via MSDN sub"

Oh yes! Rexx is cool!
I have written two application built-in Rexx interpreters - it is the best macro language there is. That is what it was originally designed for before it was extended to produce stand-alone programs - which it also does well.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I have written a few DSL interpreters where the DSL has used the Rexx "array" style (because it's very easy to implement)

We are 91 days into the year, and so far, Google is racking up an unprecedented body count. If we just take the official shutdown dates that have already occurred in 2019, a Google-branded product, feature, or service has died, on average, about every nine days.
DEAD PERSON: [singing] I feel happy. I feel happy.

CUSTOMER: Ah, thanks very much.
... said no murdered Google product user ever. Unfortunately life doesn't always imitate Monty Python.

I would agree full with the title of your post. I am very leery of adopting anything from them because of their history of dropping things.

And last thing you want to have to deal with is google droppings...

According to the most recent Dice Salary Survey, the average tech pro made $93,244 in 2018, a very slight 0.6 percent increase from the year before. For many Americans, that’s a lot of money—but many tech pros don’t consider their annual pay nearly enough. "Do I have to come right flat out and tell you everything? Gimme some money, gimme some money"
Sorry about the US-centric poll results.
On a related note? $93K?!?!

In my previous job, if I were to base my pay on my productivity, factoring in incompetent management, archaic "fire call" processes to get even read access to QA (not even production!) servers, etc., I would say I was greatly overpaid.

The "$" sign is a typo.
It really means that 93KV is what's required to wake some of us up.
