The desire to work on personal projects has grown on me pretty much unexpectedly. "It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly business."

Turns out we're not very good at balancing speed and quality – so says a report from the Consortium for Information and Software Security. "Good, fast, cheap. Choose two."
And it does seem to be a different study from the last study that found exactly this. How odd.

Microsoft is saying a 'rotation of keys' that handle authentication was to blame for a roughly 14-hour Azure outage that took down Office 365, Dynamics 365, Xbox Live and other Microsoft services on March 15. It said it right there in the title - 'cloud authentication'
OK, "Active Directory", but have we ever had a distributed auth system that worked all the time? (since - and including - Passport)

India will propose a law banning cryptocurrencies, fining anyone trading in the country or even holding such digital assets, a senior government official told Reuters in a potential blow to millions of investors piling into the red-hot asset class. If you outlaw bitcoin, only outlaws will...oh, wait.

Throughout my time leading engineers at Microsoft, there would often be discussions about the relative ‘velocity’ of our team over time. As our projects grew in size, it seemed it was harder and harder to add new features. The sales folk will be happy?

"It's one louder, isn't it?"
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Go developers still cite generics as the top missing feature of the popular Go programming language. It helps you know when to start?

2020 proved to be a memorable year for Java as we celebrated its 25th birthday. "It's just that you've grown up before my very eyes"
I'll let anyone interested look into the new features. I'm assuming it's whatever was in C# 6 or 7.

I love this comment:
Quote: Yet again Microsoft is way ahead of the game – Teams has had the ‘bad connection’ and ‘Echo’ filters since the very first version
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

You may not have used SCSI this decade, but the old storage interface software is still in Linux and security holes have been found, and fixed, within it. I always thought those drives were a little scuzzy
