A common issue with code reviews is that the engineer making the change presents the completed implementation and the design *at the same time*. The collaboration early on to ensure a good design or theory of operation really helps cut down on the pain of code reviews.
Then that's not a code review. Anywhere I worked as a developer, we had separate design reviews that took place prior to the code being written.

Too late for what?
Seriously, what are the perils of email that anything could exist that I "wouldn't regret until it's too late."
The major one is you lose all your emails when your webmail provider shuts down.
I have a yahoo account that I use basically as a spam catching address. I access it via a mail client, though, so never have to deal with the web interface.
While the BBC pays lip service to restricting VPN access, I don't think they are wanting to implement any bans. They don't lose much (apart from bandwidth) by overseas viewers streaming on BBC iPlayer, and will likely generate extra revenue when the same viewers buy DVDs of programmes they enjoy from their local Amazon.
This, plus they are a hardware company and don't trade in data.
Data scientists aside, it's also tough as a developer trying to get any useful stats on the apps you sell on the app store. But again, Apple is a hardware company and doesn't really worry too much about that either,
CORAL66 and JOVIAL are both quite important languages that were used in military applications.
I learned Prolog as an undergrad, but not sure how obscure or widely used it is these days.
That's sad. Assembler was a required course for my CS degree. If you wanted to mix in any significant computer engineering you took the optional second course that covered Motorola assembler as well.
Same for me. Motorola 6800 and 6809 assembler for the low level and Pascal for the data structures courses. Once we had a strong grounding in both, they let us loose on C. It was a great combination.
And if he's totally ignorant, how does he know somebody "really knows this stuff"?
He has his developers participate in the recruitment process. If the person he hires is good, the developers will know and the accountant will know as the new hire will be able to clearly communicate with both during the interview.
I don't read reddit, so I'm not always in the loop about whatever this hour's controversy is. As such, I need to ask, what is all of this even about? Can anyone explain this to me? Who is this person? Why is there so much negativity here?
I've looked through the discussion here, and all I'm seeing are an unusually high number of comments modded down to -1, a lot of talk about transsexuals, and pretty much nothing relevant to science, computing, math, or good stuff like that.
Can anyone, anyone at all, explain what the hell is going on here, and what the hell this is all about?
Yes. Google can - it's what all the kids on the internet use now. Saves posting comments pretending you haven't heard of person/band/website/game/TVshow to try and desperately gain some level of street cred.
I used to enjoy " Dr. Dobb's Journal of Computer Calisthenics & Orthodontia" before they sold out. "Wired", while not quite as good, started off well before it was taken over by The Man.
They found the nail clippers I had forgotten to leave at home and made me dispose of them before getting on the plane. So the world became a little safer for everyine on that particular day.

On the other hand, it has been obvious to me for a long time that if you want privacy, you don't use Microsoft products.
Or anything connected to the internet.

It only sounds kinda Scottish if your stoned.
I previously had an incompetent Jr employee under me, who happened to have a doctorate...
Meanwhile, the billionaire founders of Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Facebook and Dell are college drop-outs.
Well, there's certainly sufficient anecdotal evidence there to create data.

Many programmers barely pass muster as programmers, never mind engineers.

This is someone you wouldn't want to work for.
Good boss: rants when he has a good point, is 100% correct, and you screwed up. Bad boss: rants when he's wrong.
Excellent boss treats you like an adult when he has a point, and communicates the problem clearly, and without resorting to childish abuse.
QA is not just about testing. Testing is Quality Control; just one aspect of a QA framework.
Still better than that malware Android
Android doesn't trade on it's walled-garden security.

Maybe she had the same advisers that saw 22 million emails deleted by the Bush/Cheney Whitehouse. Remember the outrage over that affair? Me either.
I might actually vote for him because of this policy. Never thought I would say that.
Might be worth checking his track record on breaking promises and his wage policies for existing employees before making any rash decisions.
As would my 2010 Hyundai. It has a key and the typical remote.
My 2006 Jeep Wrangler has a key and no remote.
Yes, that would be a great way to lose business from every single one of the carriers they do business with.
It still handles wi-fi better than OS X discoveryd.

CS != Programming. That is all.
The Amiga did it better and earlier.
And using less RAM. I was always impressed by my Amiga's ability to multitask compared to the Windows machine I had at work.
