The programming community is extremely polarized about the existence or not of such a beast: who says there is no such a thing as the 10x programmer, who says it actually does not just exist, but there are even 100x programmers if you know where to look for. "They come in ones and twoosels but if they so choosels before your eyes you'll see them multiply"

It may be hard to believe, but many companies still rely on spreadsheets to manage their business. In fact, according to a survey, one in five businesses use them to communicate and track data internally. If the solution fits, use it?

That'd be a "no".

You learn about three or four phases of matter in school—solids, which have a shape and volume, liquids, which have a volume only, and gases and plasmas, which have neither a definite shape nor volume. Solid, liquid, and floor wax?

The idea that TDD damages design and architecture is not new. Because the foundation is too stable?

Plus details on strict limitations for UWP apps running on the Xbox One. It will pause the Windows Update service?

Quote: According to Walston, UWP apps and games can only use four the Xbox One's eight shared CPU cores, 50 percent of the system's GPU power, and just 1GB out of 8GB of system memory. Windows universe is shrinking nicely

Hmmmm. that's odd, but II(vaguely)RC isn't 1GB of ram the amount that the OS holds back from games? Makes me wonder if UWP apps are running in non-game mode and resource neutered to avoid bottlenecking gmaes even if they are games.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

In interviews I ask "Do I get my own office?" and "Do I get a parking space?"

Open offices are cheaper, so don't expect them to go away.

Metallica at 3pm sounds good to me. I fail to see the problem with open offices. I'm sure there's still meeting rooms if you need to do something private, or quite probably the option to work from home if you need peace.
Maybe people associate having an office with status and like to view others as 'beneath them'.

Programmers surrounded by people who moust constantly be on the phone, groups of coworkers that talk loudly from one end of the office to the other of soccer or movies... the perfect environment I'd say. Then one asks why code quality sucks.

You can't institute a STFU rule, and you can't expect people not to use phones.
If all you do is surf the interwebs, fine, but if you have to focus, open-plan offices* are a nightmare

I much prefer to work in a lively environment than somewhere silent when I need to focus. If I don't want distractions then headphones and music works fine.
I guess it's personal preference.

I don't even want music, when I'm working.
