    I think the same thing every time. I've never had anyone read my meeting notes and they're better off in some sort of work order system anyways. All I'm hearing is an appeal to mak…

    Not out of date, the author is probably planning on teaching how to program Windows via WinAPI. WSL2 and VSCode will probably be outside the scope of discussion when it comes to co…

    Yeah, except the bundling wasn't the problem. It was that Microsoft was using their size to build a giant moat around IE. If you wanted modern features, it was all on IE and behind…

    Not sure I agree with not starting work on it right away so you don’t finish early but, I’ve learned that constantly delivering earlier than you say can make people not believe you…
