Amazon Web Services CEO Andy Jassy put the company’s neighboring tech giant directly in his sights here Tuesday morning, criticizing Microsoft’s licensing practices and making it clear that Amazon is going directly after the Redmond company’s core business. Can I get my next enterprise network on two day shipping?

I was going to say: With the quantity of pissed off users that are overall, it might even be successfull.
Then I opened the article.Quote: “You see this return to the ways of old from Microsoft where they’re not prioritizing what matters to you guys, the customers,” Jassy said in his opening keynote at the AWS re:Invent conference. “People are sick and tired of being pawns in this game.” It was so obvious that they were going to attack them using it

In a recent study titled Usage and Attribution of Stack Overflow Code Snippets in GitHub Projects, an answer I wrote almost a decade ago was found to be the most copied snippet on Stack Overflow. Ironically it happens to be buggy. Copy/Paste considered harmful

The article itself is pretty interesting, the best part is the end though:
Quote: Key Takeaways
Stack Overflow snippets can be buggy, even if they have thousands of upvotes.
Test all edge cases, especially for code copied from Stack Overflow.
Floating-point arithmetic is hard.
Do include proper attribution when copying code. Someone might just call you out on it.

Go to CP, instead.

Or does the "hundreds of" refer to the bug fixes?

Do you mean in the sense that they're so determined to not write perfect code that they just let kittens walk on their keyboards, then fix the errors until it compiles?

Quote: Languages like Java and C++ are notorious for requiring lengthy code snippets. C tends to be much more concise. Languages like Python and Go are arguably somewhere in between.
This paragraph from that article is an indicator of its quality - i.e. 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

I just wanted to post exactly the same comment. I guess it's a case of those who can - do, and who can't - teach. Just wonder why would CP repost reference to this article.

Quote: But if you want to write concise code that is also readable, Python might be a better choice. Python tends to be a bit more verbose, but its indentation rules can help to keep code readable, even if it’s written without a lot of care. And, then ... I threw up.
