Well-organized scrum meetings may help prevent breakdowns in communications which lead to breakdowns in software. Because not everyone needs to get work done

The scrum master manages the process for how information is exchanged
Because left to their own devices, people really suck at communication.
And sadly, that is not sarcasm.

Because it's the one job where you can be a clueless a**hole and have that be considered a success.

Oh, there's certainly more than one job where that happens.

Instead, we need something that fulfills the key things that made BASIC work: a tool that is ubiquitous, accessible, and free. Discuss

Arduino (and rPi, Beaglebone, et al) yes, but Scratch is horrid, visually, usability-wise, and coding graphically low level if / while / assignment / etc. is the worst marriage of text-based coding and graphical UI's.

Don't take this badly, but neither of us are the next generation of technologists.
My nephew is (probably) and he has created some pretty cool stuff with Scratch.
Its just a start bit the has the basics - as did I when I started with BASIC.

The majority of computer languages fulfill all three criteria. They are but a click away. If you want a nice editor/debugger along with it, a few clicks.
That said, .NET is ubiquitous, easy to use, free and, as bonuses, extremely powerful and with a truly kick-ass IDE. (I vastly prefer C++ and honestly believe it's the best way to really learn how to program professionally, but if you want to just learn some programming, I can't think of a better, cheaper, way than C#.NET.)

Samsung just can't catch a break when it comes to batteries. I'm going with irony here

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

UI for UWP is a suite of 20+ UI controls for developers building UWP applications which include a variety of controls for various apps. Wasn't selling well?

Today at the Windows Developer Day online event, Microsoft Developer VP Kevin Gallo announced that all developer documentation is now available at docs.microsoft.com. I guess this means we stop complaining about MSDN?

I'm in shock. docs.microsoft.com actually came up on my browser.

So it takes about 20 clicks to get through the "Aren't We Great!" fluff to something useful, and when you get there, the page refreshes every two seconds (literally).
I should have known better than to even bother.
