If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Windows’ infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) is turning a shade of green for Windows 10 testers soon. Problem solved: no more BSODs!

Airline booking systems lack basic security checks that would stop attackers changing flight details or stealing rewards, warn experts. "Should not have got on this flight tonight"

Understanding encapsulation has more to do with object-oriented purism than one might imagine. Anemic objects might be more SOLID than you would first think. Have you tried putting iron pills in your model?

I enjoy objective data-analysis like this. While their sample might be flawed since only people who actually join interviewing.io participated, I appreciate the effort and am intrigued by implications that may affect the profession going forward. I'm still a firm believer though that some of the best developers never make it past HR due to college requirements. Not everyone has the same opportunities but for the truly motivated that doesn't stop the passion. I feel too many college-educated developers just stop learning after they meet base requirements either from a lack of caring (college is supposed to teach you everything, right?  ) or a lack of ability because they've simply been force-fed information while never learning how to truly learn on their own.
My 2 cents.
EDIT: Not to disparage HR people - I understand the importance of your job in standard settings but when hiring specialists it's the ability that counts not the experience or the education.

The bit about M.S. people don't do well, can hold water, but not always. There's a new generation out there that attend these for profit colleges, that promise a job in their field within 6 months of graduation, but then the people never get a job. We have 2 MS intern people from DeVry, neither with anything more than elementary clerical skills, let alone programming skills. I ask how much homework they have and I never get an answer. I know they aren't programming anything. My graduate level courses were 20+ hours per week; there was even a 50 in there. But I was also learning classic ASP, .Net, CSS, JavaScript anything to improve my skillset while all of this was going on. My advice to anyone wanting to code for a living is to put down the books and write your own software. Sit at home and write code. It is the only way to become at least a competent programmer. GPA or degree level doesn't matter if you can't write code for the real world.

The world and the opinions therein are often flawed in many ways
One example is to not pay much attention that person has MS degree for example....
The fact that one has it, means only good but not bad.
It means person has broadened and deepened her education - which is only good
But again, nowadays many people in business and management are the ones who lack intelligence in the first place, so they try to push their own ideas..... on others.

The Agile concept isn't just about IT and development, but about a mindset that has to extend throughout the business. Is this that, "there is no spoon" thing?
|
|
|
|

It's amusing how many blog posts there are about Agile being this nebulous thing "you become" and how it can't be defined. It's like going to a new age healer -- practice love, meditation, yoga, and positive thinking, and you just "become" healed!

It's not a thing you do, it's a training course you take.
Now that you've read the above and completed my agile training course that'll be $799 each please. IF you don't have cash on hand, I'll take amazon gift cards or a wire transfer to the firm of Dewey Cheatum & Howe c/o National Bank of Krebleckistan.
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?

Discovering your own software design patterns is an important skill, which we forget to learn when we force ourselves to learn patterns developed by others. You'd be amazed at how much you can hide in paisley

If you are not a fan of automatic Windows 10 updates, you might be glad to know that Microsoft will soon let you pause Windows 10 updates You're only delaying the inevitable, you know
|
|
|
|
|
And as a PSA, if you're really not a fan of automatic corruptdates, you can disable the Windows Update service in control panel -> admin tools -> services.

No, not enough at all. Not just pause the updates but to install only a few required such as security etc. I don't garbage based updates for my graphics drivers or the HDMI that I do not even use.

Microsoft is working on a brand new "Game Mode" feature for Windows 10 that will enhance the PC gaming experience by minimizing resources used by running apps to almost nothing and allocating freed up resources to the game, making it run faster, better and smoother overall. It will be known by the cryptic title: DOS boot disc

Hmm. Sounds also good maybe for DAW users and other realtime tasks.

Sure, and with ms implementing it, it's certain not to be a disaster if you decide to play a game for half an hour, then go back to the work you were doing earlier...
