It doesn't help that Hollywood has cast the 'coder' as a socially challenged, type-first-think-later hacker, inevitably white and male. "Why not both?"
In the words of my awesome, good-looking, and well-dressed boss*, "This guy is an idiot"
* Why, yes. It is probably review-time. Odd coincidence.

What a load of sh*t. Something challenging and complex can't be fun? I'm sure there are many brain surgeons who think, "I can't believe I'm getting paid to do something so enjoyable."
Now, granted, this moron doesn't know the difference between coding, programming and engineering, but I LOVE coding. Yes, it can get tedious and frustrating at times, but when the planning and architecture is done and I'm "in the zone" writing and debugging code, it's a [hippie] trip. Next thing you know 10 hours have passed.
(One weird moment is when someone comes up during this and asks a question. They go away happy. Then you realize that you have no clue what they asked and what you said. But maybe that's just me.)

Wow, I don't know if I should be offended at the stereo type, or offended that I meet all the requirements of that stereo type...except for the hacker part. The movies are so outlandishly unrealistic in the fact that they never google for the answer. The socially-challenged, type first, think later is pretty spot on though.

A security flaw in the way Microsoft Windows guards users against malicious files was actively exploited in malware attacks for two years before last week, when Microsoft finally issued a software update to correct the problem. Better hacked than never?
Sorry, but the fix got held up by the need to create new icons

The United States Department of Defense has announced the official formation of a task force dedicated to investigating unknown aerial phenomena (UAPs), historically referred to as UFOs. Because the truth is ... somewhere?

Architecture decision records, also known as ADRs, are a great way to document how and why a decision was reached within a codebase. Because it saves time from writing 'address' out completely?

Previously unknown Drovorub is being used by advanced hacking group APT 28. It's the Year of Linux Insecurity!
Finally, it's popular enough the hackers care. Congratulations!

Hmmm 3.7 was released in December 2012.

Ookla tests aren't showing the gigabit speeds SpaceX teased, but it's early. Only causes moderate burns if you cross the beams
Can someone explain how people are getting 21ms latency from something 35,000 km away?

Hmmmm,

At the speed of C it should take 0.116 seconds to hit the satellite at 35,000 km away and then around the same back down to the modem making the theoretical minimum round trip at 0.23 of a second.
But you were probably speed reading when you skimmed the article. The satellites are not in a geostationary orbit so would not be at 35,000.
The satellites are in a much lower VLEO orbit.
