Marketing guru: What does this do?
Developer: If pull request has taken longer than x days, it nags the person responsible.
Guru: Claim it's AI and we have a product! (Oh, and write a white paper showing that nagging, I mean the AI, works!)

ControlFlag is a new tool that can autonomously detect errors in code. That's a funny spelling of 'debugger'

Newly discovered web skimming malware is capable of hiding in plain sight to inject payment card skimmer scripts into compromised online stores. Going to have to click the unlike button on this one
I was going to go with something about logorrhea, but that word already means something else.

Quote: Even though this is not the first time that threat actors have used skimmers concealed within seemingly being images with the help of steganography, this malware is the first one that uses "a perfectly valid image."
"The result is that security scanners can no longer find malware just by testing for valid syntax," A perfect example for "only because you can, doesn't mean you have to".
The day that the invention of "information" being stored in images went live, it was crystal clear that this would be happening sooner or later.

Google's actions amid workplace organizing efforts, including the high-profile firings of several employees, were illegal violations of the National Labor Relations Act, federal regulators said this week. Don't never not do no evil
I think I have my negative count appropriate there. Brain's too fried to be certain.

Microsoft’s twice-yearly feature updates arrive every six months — whether users want them or not. The company needs to do something to make this upgrade process less disruptive and avoid patch fatigue. I thought everyone enjoyed a nice, long, machine troubleshooting exercise?

I continue puzzling why the don't they just return to the previous model of giving patches out when they are done AND tested as little packages.
If something big is needed, OK, let's do it. But the current forced upgrades with a bunch of unneeded and / or unwanted crap... well... I suppose I stop here, there is no big things to be added, we all have seen or experienced it the last couple of years...

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...
