Test Driven Development is the single skill most worth teaching because:
1) it provides the programmer with an explicit feedback loop that tells them if their code is functionally correct (no matter how poorly the product code is written)
2) it forces the programmer to write the code in a way that it can be used sanely
3) it forces the programmer to decompose the software into small pieces (and decomposing a problem it one of the most important tools in a programmer's toolbox)
4) the tests effectively document the product code
5) the tests give them the freedom to go back and make iterative improvements on the code; iterative improvements both a) facilitate an immediate self-learning process and b) enable the application of improvements learned later on.
I've been having to buy new clothes way more frequently than I'd like. They're not wearing out, I don't care about fashion, but my fat American ass keeps outgrowing them. Aside: I hate clothes shopping.
I'd rather take my chances with the government being unable to decrypt something important as opposed to the government being able to decrypt everything. I am certain that their being able to decrypt everything will cause harm (consider the OPM data breach), which their being unable to decrypt something important may or may not realize consequence.
Monster.com enables recruiters to check a box to "include diversity candidates" to include resumes from their "Diversity and Inclusion network" in search results. They appear to have built a monetized product around this. Can somebody please explain to me how the existence of this checkbox is not discriminatory?

Looks like road traffic is pretty dangerous.
Wonder if a police officer is more likely to be injured (a) during hostilities or (b) in routine traffic.
I've purchased three Pebble watches over the years with a 66% defect rate. One was for me, two were for my wife. Mine never worked reliably. My wife's second watch was DOA, and Pebble gouged me on the return (the extra bands I bought along with the defective watch were not considered to be defective, so huge restocking fees). After so much frustration and money lost on these expensive non-essentials, we've decided to give up on smart watches entirely.
This wouldn't have happened if Hillary got elected. She loves the Internet so much that she broke the law just to be able to have a piece of it in her house.

Agreed. It would benefit the everyman more to understand, say, the privacy and security aspects of computing than data structures and algorithms.
Then stop hiring the cheapest "engineers" you can find and pony up the money to hire some that satisfy your business' requirements.

I wonder how this result stacks up against the greenhouse gas emissions attributable to studies of greenhouse gas emissions.

When my dog craps on the rug, he goes and hides in shame. I interpret this to be similar. Bad Ajit. Bad.

Can you please cite your source(s) for these purportedly most dangerous jobs?

Al Gore for President 2020 (or sooner). If he invented the Internet once, then by golly, he can do it again!

Goodbye to the internet we've come to know and love.
