People in video meetings will, in future, be able to feel their hands being shaken and smell coffee in their virtual space, the founder and CEO of Zoom has predicted. Smells like team spirit
But please. NO!

I hope they do "optional" because in the moment that they force the upgrade to some hardware to smell coffee or whatever the other people is doing... I think their users quote will drop drastically.
On the other hand...
I think I won't bet anything more expensive than a coffee or a beer, because there already are enough examples on how stupid the mass of people can be and how fast they embrace the most idiotic approaches of something, just because it is "in" or "cool" or "brand new" or whatever the BS-Buzzword-Bingo word of the day is...

1/3 of the code every software project is irrelevant, buggy, overly complicated, or simply sucks 2 out of 3 lines of code approve of this message

I don't understand the logic here; a third of code in a given solution is poor, so don't test it. Instead, test the "good" code. (And how does he know which is which? Apparently magic.)

Ironically, I completely disagree with his recommendations. It is actually the crappy code and the frequently changing code that requires the most code coverage! That is certainly how I base my unit and integration tests - what's changing the most, and what is so fragile and poorly documented and understood. Because when I get around to refactoring sh*tty code, I want test to verify that I haven't broken something!

My thoughts exactly!
Besides, it's not even about percentages, but about writing effective tests.
I've literally seen some untestable code that had a high coverage.
The code couldn't be tested because it relied on some settings that could only be set in production (HttpContext or some such) and couldn't be mocked (well, it could, if better developers had written it).
Every test simply checked if the code throwed the expected NullReferenceException
But they could tell their customers they had a high test coverage

My thoughts exactly. I would rather have higher test coverage around the poorly written code that is more likely to break somewhere.

Excel formulas are the world’s most widely used programming language, yet one of the more basic principles in programming has been missing, and that is the ability to use the formula language to define your own re-usable functions. =YIKES()
It's about fracking time, but I'm worried how folks will end up using this one.

I don't know what is worst...
that there is people that comes to such ideas to "earn" money from some people
or...
that there actually is people willing to make them earn money...

And apparently there's a market for the product too

All too true, it just shows how braindead these conspiracy theorists are. As they will believe anything you can sell them anything.

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

How many times have you been in the debugger tracking down a bug, stepping through code, looking at what local variable values changed, when you hit a wall — the value isn’t what you expected, and you can’t step into the method that produced it because it’s from a library or .NET framework itself? Because sometimes you just need to know 'How the Elephant was this written?'
