The great thing about measuring developer productivity is that you can quickly identify the bad programmers. Present company not included
(Meaning me, of course. You're great.)

28 years ago, Microsoft announced WordPad, a successor to another text editor called Microsoft Write. Was it cutting into sales of Word too much?

We've said it before; we'll say it again: Don't put credentials in publicly available code. Not what they usually mean by "free, open-source software"

Fear of being judged appears to be a major obstacle preventing workers from using AI. 1 in 4 probably are lazy, whether they use AI tools or not

NASA has spotted a small new crater on the Moon that was likely caused by a Russian probe crash landing on the surface around two weeks ago. So it was successful after all?

The project was designed to show people how easy it is to create mass propaganda. How does it compare to human propaganda machines?

Businesses are reaping the benefits of DevOps. But is it coming at a cost? The added responsibilities being placed on engineers can lead to burnout. However, there are ways to keep DevOps engineers happy. We'll just fix that next sprint

Of course, but some of them imply good managers and others are not KSS

A team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison has uploaded to the Chrome Web Store a proof-of-concept extension that can steal plaintext passwords from a website's source code. We deserve to be doomed if people are (still) putting plaintext passwords in their websites

Not that easy. There are actually 2 issues, plain text and the other is the access to the DOM, so the extension can act as a keylogger if the webmaster did it properly.

I’ve missed a lot of the recent hype trains, I skipped over blockchain, I avoided web3, and I’m not dumb enough to have believed NFT’s were anything but a scam, but I’m not going to miss out on the AI hype train! Toot toot! Some assembly required

Grafana Labs this week released version 1.0 of an open source tool that collects data about an application’s code to aid debugging, troubleshooting and optimization efforts. It was selling that well, was it?

I really wish that they would make it clear from the very beginning: A tool for Linux software development.
It takes to much reading to realize that this is not for me, as a Windows developer. I didn't see it pointed out in the linked article at all. I had to read the product page (linked from the article) quite closely to deduce from references to other tools and directory strings that this is Linuxware.

But the real question is, did they use it analyze their own tool?

Microsoft will drop support for the Cortana app in Windows before the end of this year, but it may be working on a new digital assistant for wearables. The company has filed a patent application for an AI-powered smart backpack. It looks like you're trying to get away from technology for a walk in the woods. Would you like help with that?

A while back, researchers at McGill University were studying pain sensitivity in mice and noticed something weird: When pregnant female mice—which were being used for another experiment—were kept close by, the male subjects started acting strangely. Something to keep in mind if you need to defend yourself from a male mouse
Or, you could just shoot them, then eat the banana. Thus, disarming them.
