Tech Pro Research's latest survey shows that the Bring Your Own Device movement is booming, with 74 percent of organizations either already using or planning to allow employees to bring their own devices to work. No. BYOB is not "close enough"

Bring your own Drink!!!
I'd rather be phishing!

Ah HA! I knew someone would figure a way around that.

You're still doing it wrong; why buy a drink when you can just buy the distillery instead. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

BYOD == "How to make your employees pay for company hardware"
|
|
|
|
|
Which explains why so many companies are doing it, yes.

Yup. If someone else has control of the remote wipe switch; it's not your hardware any more...

Last summer, the option to bring your own device was presented for cell phones; the company is moving away from providing cell phones to on call personnel. If you choose to opt into the program, you can be compensated for a portion of the amount on a monthly basis. It doesn't cover the entire bill, but it helps.
Now, the option of bring your own PC is being touted; you then get access to a virtual desktop. Some early adopters are very happy with it (the only person I've seen doing this uses an Apple laptop).
Our manager has specifically stated: he will not approve our request if we ask. Each of us has a pair of flat screen monitors. If even one of us indicates we can work without them, it is too easy to pull them from all of us.
United we stand...

In the past 7.5 years I have supervised over a dozen programming interns at Ronimo and have seen hundreds of portfolios of students and graduates. In almost all of those I saw the same things that they needed to learn. How to properly ask for the codez plz?

The main thing they need to learn is self discipline. The discipline to always write the clearest code you can, the discipline to refactor code if it becomes muddy through changes later in development, the discipline to remove unused code and add comments.
That is NOT a problem solely in the domain of young programmers. But of course, young programmers don't have that discipline because everywhere I look (and just look at practically Git repo) NOBODY WRITES CLEAR CODE, NOBODY COMMENTS, NOBODY REFACTORS THEIR CRUD!
Sorry to shout.

Maybe not nobody, but very few do.

What is "young" programmer mean. I don't think age has factor here. If you are not experienced, regardless of age you are non experienced. Period!
Hence the title should
What most non-experienced programmers need to learn or What most less experienced programmers need to learn

Folks, things are hopping over here at MSDN Magazine. We are kicking off the new year with a pair of issues: Our regularly scheduled January issue and our special issue of the magazine focused on Visual Studio 2015 and Microsoft Azure. Two! Two big issues for your reading pleasure (even with a VB article!)

Indeed.
Two big issues for the two products with big issues.

I figured a programming language used for distributed systems was about as far from client side JavaScript as I could get for a few weeks, so I decided to check out golang. "Hey ho, let's go! "

If Go is any good, .net will support it soon.
I do note however, that Go is only half-good.

OOP cannot save us from the Cloud Monster anymore. I'll add it to my queue, but that's being processed asynchronously

I'm pretty sure that ETL will continue to be my primary focus this year.

Like 20 years ago the computer world dumped mainframes - people do not like out-of-hand, centralized computer power...So do not afraid of the 'Monster' under the bed - turn the light on!
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

What a ridiculous article. I thought the article would talk about the benefits of FP, why it's becoming more relevant, etc., but what do I see instead? A morass of Scala-tooting code examples! Yuck.

People have been debating for decades about the notion of a software developer who is "elite". Sometimes this person is described as a "rockstar developer" or a "10X" developer. Yes, Virginia

Yes, but they have problems, mostly communicating with other peoples and sometimes the PC.
-> "Nobody is perfect"
Press F1 for help or google it.
