Coders wield remarkable influence over our everyday lives. How do they think about the world? They sound like great people that I'd like to meet
Maybe just online though.

The reason people AREN'T developers is because they're not wired for it, and/or have no interest in being one. People like that that are given the tools are more of a liability than anything else.
Did you notice that the vast majority of the feature presenters in the video were women? And not only women, but reasonably attractive women. So, even if you're pretty, you can be a programmer too.

Working in an office with nothing but dudebro's as cow-orkers sucks. I'm in favor of demolishing anything real or imagined that might convince otherwise qualified women to stay out of our field.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

That would be fine if it weren't for the modern-day gender fluidity acceptance the liberal left insists that we accept.

I don't know why anything you said should convinced MS Dev, PM and Marketing to change their mission statement?!

Okay, I'm glad the main dude is getting his teeth straightened but man, is it distracting.
And can you really trust someone who drink Diet Pepsi?

I thought the presentation to be a giant waste of time. It took 50 minutes to present maybe 10 minutes of material.

Microsoft has pulled Books from the Microsoft Store and is planning to offer customers who've purchased any ebooks via the Store refunds, as their books will no longer be accessible as of July, 2019. Remember when you could buy books and they stayed on shelves? Good times.
And you could use the Jan Hankl method[^] to find them!
At least they're offering a refund.
On a related note - yay for Libby[^]!

Because people who like winio and the ms store don't fall into the category of people who can read.
So we've finally found the demographic that ms has been targetting with all its baby blocks, effluent interfaces, and immaterial designs.
I'm glad we've sorted that one out.
Anyone know who makes operating systems and UIs for grown-ups?

There is quite an assortment of buzzwords in that one sentence.

It is impressive, isn't it?
It's what inspired me not to read the article.

I did read the article as I had this passing thought along the lines of "wouldn't it be terrible if someone had created something really useful and no-one looked at it because of the jerk in marketing?"
Then I saw the flashing animations done by the jerk in marketing and thought "sod it." Added to which, the syntax looks vile.

I've read all the way through to the end of that sentence and I still have no idea what it is they are trying to sell.
