One of my main customers will from time to time just start programs like this. After a few years, the trend fades, the people retire or culled, and we wait for the next cycle. What's odd is that there is no correlation to profitability, just the mission.
This is nothing but bad marketing. I would not want to be involved with this project.

It might actually be good marketing, because they will be seen as World Improvers. But World Improvement goes though fads, much like fashionware, so it ends the way you describe.

Microsoft's integration of the OpenAI GPT-3 technology into Power Apps is the first time GPT-3 will be available commercially in one of its own products. I hope no one goes after them for that language

What the ?
Software quality is going nuts using programming languages and they still think that using "natural" language will be better?
Besides... 'in plain English' is just a bad joke, isn't it? As there were just only one english...

Expletives can be (darned) effective, adding emphasis and meaning. Under the right circumstances, of course. "Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war."
F'ing a.

This is a major expansion of the Windows Subsystem for Linux, which already lets you run command line-based Linux apps, and it means you can now use GUI apps without having to set up a traditional virtual machine with a Linux distribution. Now you can run LibreOffice and get some work done
Yeah, I know it's available for Windows as well, but I couldn't think of any useful Linux GUI apps that weren't on Windows (I had already used Xeyes)
Have I mentioned just how easy my job is on Microsoft conference days?

Many features are in close-to-final form and others will come soon now that the foundational building blocks are in place for the release. Hot Reload: now you can code like VB3!
Another shocking release
|
|
|
|
|
We’ve added C++20 features, improved Git integration, improved profiling tools, and a host of features that accelerate productivity. Get it before the neighbours!
Well, that's a shock of a release. What with Build happening and all.

There are currently several critical problems using ReSharper in VS2019 v16.10; they are investigating and working on a fix.

Microsoft has joined Apple and Google in opposing Right to Repair legislation, reports IOL, with lobbying by the companies successfully squashing proposed laws in 27 states so far. You break it, you bought it, but you can't fix it
Too close to political? (either the topic or the blurb?)

Sure, we can use our devices to order a pizza or to sponsor a charity that plants trees. But the idea of a computer that could literally do anything is preposterous. Isn’t it? I won't be holding my breath waiting for that one

In the world of software development, we are up against new cybersecurity threats each day, and the risks and consequences of un-secure software are too significant to be unaware of. "Everything I’ve ever done, everything I ever do, every place I’ve ever been, everywhere I’m going to: it’s a sin"

For all the endless gnashing of teeth about buffer overruns--and printf , which isn't even C++!--no software security problem holds a candle to people who click on spoofed email links or volunteer sensitive information to callers.
