Although a robust mobile strategy is critical to most organizations, 76% of developers are automating fewer than half of their tests, according to a new survey. That's what customers are for (tm)

Securing Free/Libre and open-source software (FLOSS) is a big deal and The Linux Foundation wants to know exactly how programmers are dealing with security issues. "Badges...? We don't need no stinking badges!"

Same as big tech companies. Shipping them into production / committing them into the master main repository

Six of the SpaceX software team members who helped “develop and deploy software that flew Dragon,” aka the Crew Dragon capsule used to launch the astronauts, held a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” session on June 6. Is "ability to deal with would-be Bond villains" on the list?

Requiring human interaction thwarts automated analysis used by good guys. Hoist with their own checkbox
I really don't know why I find this so funny. Definitely speaks ill of my character.

Looking at how the spam / scam is getting "professionalized".
I think that they will find a lot of people willing to have a job bypassing the "human interaction" securities.

One release channel isn't enough. Microsoft just rearranged the Windows Insider Program, but the company missed an opportunity to help mainstream customers who are unwittingly signing up as beta testers with each new release. Is it, "stop putting the bugs in"? I'm not sure they've thought of that.

Yes it would be enough if they really heard / seized the feedback of the people testing the new releases.

In my decades of experience, I've learned that it really does start at the top. President Brad Smith is completely detached from running the company. Upper management takes their cues from him and it trickles on down. Smith lectures employees on business practices, but not on the importance of quality. Most remarkably, he appears to not even like Microsoft's products. I remain baffled as to why he is Microsoft's president.
