There is no smallest boring natural number (i.e. positive integer):
If such a number existed, it would in itself be interesting.

The development of classic silicon-based computers is approaching its limits. To achieve further miniaturization and to reduce energy consumption, different types of materials and architectures are required. So, Rust really is the future?

A recent Zenhub report found, for the first time, a quantitative link between developer happiness and productivity, including what keeps developers in the same position instead of moving on to another job at the first sign of perceived trouble. "The beatings will continue until morale improves"

Being happy at work makes people stay in the job and work better... No fvck Sherlock, what a discovery.

A surprising number of industries, from embroidery to aviation, still use floppies. Because there's just no copy for that floppy
The fax machine still thinks they're the newcomer though

Microsoft's chatbot AI is being developed as a "copilot" for users to help them not only find what they are looking for but also to help them be more creative. A few years ago, something similar was being pushed out to consumers: voice assistants. The new ones are just as dumb, but shinier

Quote: Even Microsoft's CEO now admits voice assistants like its own Cortana are "dumb as a rock" but they still push them like there were no tomorrow

We’re announcing the next generation of AI product updates across our business applications portfolio, including the launch of the new Microsoft Dynamics 365 Copilot – providing interactive, AI-powered assistance across business functions. You're getting an AI assistant! And YOU'RE getting an AI assistant!
I was going to say, "What do you call Sales with an AI assistant? 'About to be made redundant'", but I figured that was more than a little mean (and _probably_ not true)

The deciding factor between a career that has a lasting impact on your company and one that doesn’t is just one thing: your documentation. Senior developers too
Or is it just that they already knew that? (not many of the seniors I know of)

Doom is the game that became a benchmark. From its humble beginnings on a 386 PC, it has been ported to run on everything. Power-efficient fragging
Have we hit the bottom yet? (until a new chip comes out?)
