With those relays clanking around, I'm pretty sure I don't want to be in the room when they try.

While the concept of "service classes" probably has some value when it comes to organizing the objects you're dealing with, the idea of a "service layer" has no value at all when it comes to building applications. "But you're gonna have to serve somebody"

Didn't see that one coming. Great song on a great LP. Kudos to you.

OK.
Dev says "I look at it this way, and that's the only way to look at it!"
No problem.
Just tell him to STFU in cross-department meetings.

really? And what are all those "Service Desk" and "Service Hotline" and so on over there? They do take part in software development... (specially slowing it down)

The whole article is crap. People are so busy trying top pidgeon-hole "patterns" that nobody is gettign any f*ckin work done. Who gives a rat's ass whatcategory an object is in or what you call the category?
FFS, its no wonder MS can't deliver a bug-free update.

WalkingCat has reported on an upcoming Insider Build, that may soon give users the option to reinstall Windows 10 using data from the cloud. I don't think this is the "Windows in the Cloud" that we were promised

Maybe they'll add options to reinstall weven or XP, too.

Oooh, that would be a great addition!
You should work at Redmond. How are you at creating icons?

windows doesn't provide a program for creating icons and cursors, so I'm thinking of moving to Linux.
I mean, why stick with an operating system that won't let you do the important stuff?

That's probably the fastest way they have found out to deal with the mess of the early access windows updates. 
Seeing what is being rolled out to the users... I don't want to imagine what they do in the insiders club

You should be extra careful about what document files you open using the LibreOffice software over the next few days. It is an accurate clone of Office

Except that reinstalling ms office with different parameters only makes it worse.

heh. reminds me of when you could infect banner ads with executable code to exploit IE6
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

You will have heard of pair programming when two programmers team up to work on the same problem. Now there is mob programming which is pair programming raised to the power of however many people you can throw at it. Bring Your Own Pitchfork

Absolutely!
It has been categorically proven, many times, that when a project is behind schedule, the best thing to do is randomly throw more programmers at it!
It never fails!*
* The project always fails, but "it" never does -- just ask the project managers.

So much is written about happiness at work — yet judging from Gallup statistics that show 85% of employees aren’t engaged, few know how to attain it. It makes the boss think they haven't done their job
(And that makes *them* sad at work)

|
|
|
|
I'm ahead of the curve by never being happy to begin with. Take that Harvard.

This is bollocks.
Case in point: No matter how hard I try to make You feel miserable, you're still that annoyingly affable and chirpy Canadian ice-hockey-player type, eh?
