Two years ago, we announced an ambitious goal to become the leading enterprise cloud for B2B startups in the world. Called Microsoft for Startups, we launched a founder-first program that delivers the technology, go-to-market and community benefits needed to catalyze startup success. "For money can't buy me love"

OK, I forced myself through the first few paragraphs of this unreadable drivel, before realising that I just don't care enough to waste my time reading marketing bull of this low calibre.
I'll just go and keep myself busy with my current 999-billion in sales opportunities* without added github and microsoft whoziwatsit.
* Because 999-billion potential birds in the bush might even result in one of them ending up in the hand.

To help developers reach ultimate success during their interviews, hiring leaders offered advice on habits and tactics to avoid when interviewing for a job. Mental note: Don't use the whiteboard to draw a caricature of the hiring manager
|
|
|
|
|
Couple responses I found out don't seem to go over well with the interview team.
"Convicted? No, never convicted".
"Oh my last boss? He was so rude and unfair. Fired me for something I didn't even do....my work."

So there's no need to bother about being careful when talking about the work you did at other companies?
Me, I tend to take it quite seriously when a candidate gives away one or more clues about a previous employer's crown jewels, because I wouldn't want the same to be done with mine, later.
i.e. It's worth bearing in mind that if you tell me too much about your previous employer's products, you won't be hired.

You can talk about the work you did without disclosing proprietary info. There's no such thing as a copyright on dev technique.

Sure, but if a guy tells you how he came up with a new feature that gave his employers an advantage over their competition and then starts describing how it works, you know that you've encountered the ship-sinking kind of lips*.
The guy who says "Obviously, I can't go into much detail about it" will be the one who makes it through to the next round.

NASA has confirmed that an asteroid larger than the tallest man-made structure in the world is currently travelling towards Earth at a speed of almost 34,000 miles per hour. Thankfully, it'll likely miss us by a few million miles. On three, everyone duck

Of course, at that speed, if it hits a peanut-sized rock going a similar speed in a different direction, the resulting explosion could change its trajectory by a couple of thousandths of a degree.
Still, it would save us a bit of time. Global warming is just too damned slow!

But the solution is obvious: Compress all the global warming gas emitted by cows and politicians in a methane fusion bomb and blow the damn thing to smithereens! End of both the meteorite and global warming.

Reports are coming in that the Windows 10 KB4532693 cumulative update is loading an incorrect user profile and causing the user's desktop and Start Menu to be reset to default. I think they need to rename Windows Update to Windows Duct Tape

We also need some Windows D40.

|
|

And a match?

Microsoft has previously described the Fluid Framework as a "Web-based platform and componentized document model for shared, interactive experiences." I still think it's all wet

Exactly. Beware of the fungus.

Quote: The particular Fluid Framework components currently available with the preview include the following items, according to the home page:
Action Items: Keep track of tasks, assignees, and timelines in a table.
Mention: Tag your colleagues using the @ symbol anywhere so they can easily find relevant sections.
Table: Create a table that suits your needs.
Date: Add dates to easily keep track of upcoming deadlines and highlight overdue tasks.
Check list: Tick items off as you complete them.
So a to-do list, then.
Where's the "Do some work without having to f*** about with cr@p that some idiot thinks is original and clever" option, for those of us who don't need a 400MB embedded to-do list slowing down our documents and spreadsheets?
