I did read the article as I had this passing thought along the lines of "wouldn't it be terrible if someone had created something really useful and no-one looked at it because of the jerk in marketing?"
Then I saw the flashing animations done by the jerk in marketing and thought "sod it." Added to which, the syntax looks vile.

I've read all the way through to the end of that sentence and I still have no idea what it is they are trying to sell.

Becoming a top performer means securing the “cool” factor and making your application development organization the “place to be” for developers. Coding in those funky yellow sunglasses?

The thing I find really interesting in this article is that I really can't decide which sentence to quote to demonstrate what absolute b*llsh*t writing it is.
Remarkable, that.
So I've remarked about it.
Cause → Effect. Gotta love it.

Install a few more HVAC units on the office roof before summer?
It's already cool in the winter because there aren't enough of them.

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.
[whop]
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.
