It's pretty frustrating as a Visual Basic user that Microsoft has taken the "just don't talk about it" approach, at this point. It's still "supported" and allegedly still "valued", but Microsoft continues to make it clear the way forward for .NET development is new platforms that conveniently, they aren't bothering to support with VB. MAUI will not support VB. Blazor will not support VB (despite community members getting it to work). If you want to write a cross-platform command line app, shockingly that is the most modern thing you can do with VB, but that's where it ends.

VB is officially just relegated to WinForms, WPF, and UWP, all frameworks that Microsoft has pretty much decided they are done with.

> You will give me interesting or meaningful work

Have you ever worked on something interesting or meaningful at a job? You list a bunch of random topics, none of which are inherently interesting or meaningful. I've worked on flashy projects - most recently self driving at one of the bigger companies doing it. Guess what? In an eng org of hundreds, at least half the people were still doing shit work that had nothing to do with self driving.

Beyond that, if I want to hire you for interesting work, it falls into two buckets: mission critical, or irrelevant. I can't hire you for mission critical work because I have no confidence you can do the job, so I can only hire you for irrelevant work. If I hire you for irrelevant work, it makes me no money, so I pay you no money. Why even have this arrangement? Just go start your own side project - at least then you own it.

Consider this: join a company doing something you don't like (making an absurd amount of money because of the industry), demonstrate/develop your expertise, identify the parts of the company that are interesting to you, then go work on those. People doing interesting satisfying work didn't just get there accidentally.
What happened? Sounds interesting.

I believe a big reason for this problem is in how we discuss these events. We need to stop questioning whether a killing is justified or murder, we need to instead think in terms of competence.

No one thinks the airline mechanic who didn't tighten down a bolt was trying to cause a plane crash. No one thinks the surgeon who left a tool inside a patient was trying to kill them. No one believes the engineer who didn't account for wind wanted a bridge to collapse. We all know these were mistakes - but mistakes still have consequences. The mechanic who can't keep track of the bolts they've tightened isn't going to remain a mechanic for long, the surgeon who can't keep track of their tools won't be a surgeon for long, the engineer who doesn't double check their math won't be designing things for long. In any profession where people can die if you do things incorrectly, incompetence must be weeded out quickly and making a wrong decision, even without the slightest malice, must come at great personal cost to the professional and the institutions to which they belong. If one of these professionals ever acted like they intended to cause harm, we would unanimously label them monsters.

It is absurd that we do not treat the policing profession the same way. It is absurd that anyone should consider "it was a mistake" to be a valid defense. Whether you're knocking on the wrong door, or grabbing the wrong weapon, or misjudging whether someone can survive you kneeling on them, there is life-threatening incompetence. And just like with any other profession, if you find someone being incompetent you need to find out how they were in a position to be. Why wasn't there a procedure to double check the address? Why did no one question buying tasers with a pistol grip that could not be distinguished easily from a gun? Why did no one step in and tell the officer their use of force method was not compliant with department policy? Heads should be rolling at multiple levels just from asking how this happened before we ever get to why. We should never even need to consider the appalling possibility that some of these tragedies may not have been entirely unintentional.

This topic routinely turns into a culture war between those for and against the police, and thus nothing gets done. Progress requires transforming it into a discussion of police efficacy, which no sane person can oppose.

the point of work is to provide value to someone, in exchange they give you cash. That someone, can be anyone in the world or any people except for one person, and that's you (the worker). the point of work is providing value to someone else, not entertainment to yourself: that's called play.

I think it's great that we have a balance between work and play or maybe even have a life of just play and work on whatever fun stuff you want. You don't need an employer for that. Just know the difference. If you're going to have fun programming and entertain yourself, just do it on your own.

Employers need people to do boring work: maintaining existing legacy systems, fixing bugs, doing the last 20% (which takes 80% of the effort), to get things working perfectly for as many customers as possible.

I think there's no really "boring" developer jobs. There are strict jobs (where you have very little freedom), and they can be more boring, but if you get more freedom, even a repetitive job can become interesting, by finding and making the right tools to automate more, etc..

>It’s interesting that electronic calculators are basically the only type of devices ever to have successfully powered by integral solar panels.

Because they are ultra-low powered devices. If tiny solar cells can power that kind of device, then it can also be powered through kinetic energy (i.e. user's movement) as well ... Or you could spend $5 and put a standard watch-type battery in there which will last you years. So even there solar panels are a bit gimmicky. But ok, do whatever you like.
The CDC disagrees with your assessment. Do you have any sources about this?

According to the CDC, CWD is spread NOT just through saliva, but also feces, blood, urine, etc.

In addition, it CAN spread to Squirrel monkeys. The long-term affects on macaques is still being established (on of the reasons kuru took so long to discover was that it took decades for the monkey to develop symptoms).

If exposure is dangerous to humans, what could we do? In the areas it has been in, it is spread everywhere the deer travel as they shed bodily fluids into the soil.

I welcome websites removing mandatory password rotation. And it's true that rotating passwords doesn't necessarily reduce the chances of having it brute-forced. But that's not the point of changing passwords every so often. Rotating passwords is useful because a security vulnerability in the site or some mistake on your part can get the password exposed. You're not trying to protect yourself against super hackers (that's the website's responsibility), but against your own mistakes.
Just as an example, having to stay in the office if there's nothing else to do for the day was absolutely soul-crushing for me.

That should literally never be the case for a developer though.

You can always be improving the documentation, increasing the test coverage, optimizing for speed/bandwidth/complexity/some other metric you've measured, working out how to measure something, learning new tools or tech that could be applied to a project, working on a spike for some future feature that needs upfront research.

If you see those things as "the boring bits" that you don't want to do then you're not a developer. You're a hacker. You want to hack what you see as the fun stuff rather than developing complete, robust applications that can ship. That's fine, and loads of fun, but no one will pay you to that. You don't get a role like that unless you're some sort of programming savant on a par with the likes of John Carmack or Fabrice Bellard - someone has proven they can invent amazing things by being left to their own devices. Unfortunately, you really need to prove yourself first before you can land a gig like that. If it was easy we'd all have done it.
You only have to change it once a year? Such luxury. I have to divide by four to figure out how many years I've worked here. Thing is, when the topic comes up it seems that everyone on my team openly admits to doing just that (static PWD with incrementing integers on the end). But they didn't hire me to secure their network, so if no one else cares...
I'm ok with this "ninja" language not being used. It's the same as "guru". Who ever says those works usually sounds like they don't know what they are talking about.
I'm not sure if this is still the case, but at least back then (10+ years ago), quite a few people working helpdesk and IT (system admin, network admin, etc.) were CS majors. Or at least it seemed so from my own network. CS was seen as the gateway degree to any kind of computer related career, not just SWE. Are things different now?

I am actually not a CS major - I'm an information systems major. Funny enough, another IS major friend and I ended up as SWEs (him at a FAANG at that), while a whole bunch of CS major friends are working in IT as system or network admins or helpdesk managers.
You're not wrong, but to my knowledge, nothing like that has ever happened, and it would have been very newsworthy if it had, even absent of fatalities.

It's no longer a recommended industry standard, but unfortunately, it is still basically required, because many compliance policies have not updated. I would be shocked if at least some of Microsoft is still required to employ password rotation policies because of their own compliance requirements.

At least one policy I am looking at maintains the 90 day rotation requirement if you use basic password authentication, but offers alternative options for compliance with other authentication features. But even most of those tend to have yearly rotation requirements.
Tell that to my office 365 please. I'm sick of changing it. It's stressful for me and I'm often worried I'll get locked out at a very bad time.
Find a problem and start working on it. Since you have a prior knowledge of coding you can start by building a simple SAAS or mobile app for a very small problem. This will give you a little push you need to jump on some high end projects. This pump will motivate you to build something unique.

Sure, I'm under no illusion the metrics are perfect but I'm very confident that my non-JS traffic is over 99% automated.
I still say we should move into the direction of doing away with user passwords altogether and viewing the device itself as the basis for authentication.

Everyone has a personal computing device in 2021. Who is still sharing a family computer and needs to switch user accounts? How many businesses still operate with shared workstations?

Adding additional sessions (i.e. devices) to my netflix account should be as simple as scanning a QR code from an already-authenticated device with my unauthenticated device. This pattern feels magical with applications like Whatsapp web interface. It instantly works and you had to remember nothing. Virtually everything along the consumer segment could work like this.

There are obviously pedantic edge cases that we could invent all day, but there are also blindingly-obvious value paths we can go down as well. Recovery of lost devices is clearly a big issue with this scheme, but its the same resolution in any scenario. You resort to SMS/Email/Phone to re-establish your identity on the new device and use some emergency token issued as part of recovery to bootstrap the whole thing again. It's exactly the same shape problem as forgetting your password.
I understand.

I want to be able to have more autonomy on how to do my work. Take a piece of code (large or small) and relentlessness make it better. I don't want to have to explain my self for every little change. I want to be able to deploy my changes every day. I have a grand vision on my head and I want to make it happen. Second guessing my self of what others think, drains my energy.
Don't want to stay around to do the boring bits required to make a working product that serves a real world use case? Go into academia! Not making a generalization about academics, it's just that academia is one of the few places you can carve out a place to just work on interesting things and get paid for it.

Handy rule of thumb: On any headline with a question, the likely answer is: "No."

Or, more precisely: "No, but we wanted to tantalize you into reading this piece, where we'll go through 15 paragraphs of innuendo and then decide that it doesn't quite add up."
I dunno, if you talk to any farmer's out in the western US water is a big deal, it's what determines where cities/settlements were built, it causes political strain (Colorado vs Kansas on water rights - Colorado has opted to pay fines rather than send water to Kansas) and is in many ways unsustainable (California imports a lot and grows crops that are not drought friendly like Pistachios, forcing droughts to be a different beast than 50 years ago). In a lot of ways water scarcity is one of the most underlying political forces for the western US, though few would know it unless they looked deeper.

I also think it would hold some promise as we de-desertification parts of the world (they are making some progress in the Sahara and also the Badain Jaran in Mongolia/China). Which is important as deserts can creep up and take over places, it's especially concerning as we lose tons of topsoil as we did in the midwest during the dustbowl, and without proper soil management could turn prime farmland into deserts.

Having more water options for dry areas can only be a good thing.

The article kinda misses the reason why mandatory password changes existed in the first place -- unknown breaches. The idea was that if there was an undetected breach, the attacker would have a maximum of the mandatory password change to use credentials. You would still have mandatory password changes upon discovering a breach, which would reset the counter. And the article wasn't very clear as to why this is no longer recommended, but when mandatory password changes are enforced, users tend to make new passwords which are trivial to crack if you have a known old password. So if there's an unknown (or even known) breach, users will tend to make a new password which an attacker can easily guess given the older known passwords, losing any benefit gained from mandatory password changes. And this is worse than not having mandatory password changes, because rare password changes (when a breach is discovered) don't put people into the habit of just iterating off of an old password.
