VS 2017 15.9.7 update is ready for me to download and install.
Should I do it?
50/50 chance that I may want to put my head through a wall when this is all over.

why? Is there anything really important in it that you absolutely must have?
particularly if you are developing apps for your company/clients: are they on the very latest version too?
if it's just for your own playing around sure go ahead,
but if you want to do anything serious [for other people including open source] stick to what's most used.

We try to stay as current as possible with the incremental builds for VS. I was just being funny.
I am going to update.

Why?
Newer in not always better. And most often filled with bugs.

Sure, why not save time and just put your head through a wall, but open the window first.

FYI - I installed that version and had no problems. Wasn't bad. (Disclaimer: YMMV )
Also, why aren't you on 2019?
Actually, you should probably wait because the interface has been "modernized" and it isn't the greatest.
You can do a side-by-side install if you don't mind eating up a ton of extra space on your drive though. I only moved to 2019 because you cannot do .NET Core 3.x without upgrading.

I know. Better get it soon, before it's obsolete.

I don't upgrade in the middle of a project, and rarely before the first service pack is released.
Riding the bleeding edge used to be fun, but I suffered enough blood loss to be light headed. These days I let others do the bleeding ...

Give them a few days and see if they push out a new version to fix any problems in the update

Only a 50/50 chance? Aren't you being a little light on that?
Man, the last time I updated VS2017 it fragged almost EVERYthing.

Oldboys have probably heard about the IBM 360 mainframe series. One of the logos used in the 360 days was a circle, with a radius extendig a little outside the circle (looking like a old style potentiometer knob, but nowdays frequently used to mark an on-off pushbutton).
Then came the IBM 370 series. So what did IBM choose as a logo for the 370? A bigger circle!
Acutally, they didn't replace the 360 circle with a bigger 370 circle, they added the 370 circle around the old one, touching where the radius hit the circle(s).
They didn't use this logo a lot; I suspect it was mostly created as an inside joke, but I have come across it a few times in old documentation.

Worked here - but required a restart of Win7, which was unusual.

I would, but I only install it for the C++ build tools really... VS Code and CMake FTW...

This question was inspired by Kent Sharkey's recent comment in The insiders: "Must have 20 years experience in brand-new technology".
How many of you have come across something like this?
Update:
I had one case where they asked for 10 years experience with SQL Server 2008 - this was in 2009. When I pointed out that I had more than 10 years experience with SQL Server and was currently using SQL Server 2008 in my current job, the HR telephone pre-screener said it was very important that the experience be in SQL Server 2008 specifically - when I pointed out the impossibility of this they got very condescending about it, implying that as I didn't have enough of the clearly requested, required experience, I shouldn't be wasting their time!
In another interview, I was asked basically the same question and just lied about it. They accepted this without further questions - so when they offered the job, I turned it down.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Only when .net was new and they wanted developers with at least three years' professional experience with it.
