A world where;
Fresh water not available everywhere
Vaccines are scarce,
We have slave labor, including children.
Forced prostitution, human trafficking, child prostitutes,
Famines and hunger,
Sewages missing,
And no global coverage in pizza deliveries..
You say internet is a basic right? Is FaceBook that more important than clean water?

We've had two decades to absorb the values and principles of the Agile Manifesto. What have we learned, and what are we still learning? 'We are closer and more aware, but we are turning a tanker and it is slow and incremental.' It's always best to do some warmups for a while before showing how agile you are

Organizations have invested millions in new technology over the past year, yet fewer than one in 10 businesses have trained staff in to use these tools. Sorry, training budget was used up to fly the CEO to that "How to get your employees to work harder" training in Ibiza

not real surprise there... that would imply common sense, and we already know that it is not that common... sadly

A quick tour about five C# features that even experienced developers might not know: from variable scopes to the top-level statements and others. "Yeah you're working, building a mystery"

Two features pretty much everyone knows. Three features introduced in .NET 5, which have already had a lot of coverage elsewhere, but might still be new to some. And then a long advert for their own commercial service.

Note that I was actually agreeing with you, it is already time that companies start to get REAL responsibility on their products, start-ups as well as big companies...
As I said in other message a couple of days... everyone is "human" and can have errors, there really are things that can today look secure / safe and then in a time there was something problematic or you base your product in something else and then that is what has the bug... that's something I would say "sh*t happens".
But if the error is obvious and comes due to incompetence, sloppy implementation or similars... they should get such a fine that they would never think again on shipping anything without testing, Q&A and pre-release validation, namely in % of the revenues and not in absolute value this way it would hurt the same, no matter the size of the company.

Microsoft released Project Reunion 0.5 Preview, a set of developer components and tools that unifies access to existing Win32 and UWP APIs under a single API layer, decoupled from the operating system. The absolutely, positively, perfectly complete, final API for Windows UI (until the next one)
And just like other reunions, it's a bunch of stuff that used to know how to communicate, now just forced into one area together.
