They are asking for open floor plans? Is there anything young people won't ruin?
Yes, they keep requesting open floor plans and talking about this book Extreme Programming which apparently advocates for it...

I'm skeptical of the claim and suspect it might be (yet another) case of an older developer blaming young people for things. None of my friends (all in their 20s) prefer open offices.
I'm also not sure how old you think I am. I'm 34, not 74.

Do you seriously feel like you need your own office? We live in the 21st century for god's sake. Rather than a private office, I want to work from home most of the time.

Meanwhile you've got widowlark (who graduated in the past couple of years based on some brief online stalking) acting shocked that anyone would want a private office. I'm also not sure how old you think I am. I'm 34, not 74.
I'm 23, have heard of Extreme Programming, and absolutely want my own private office (and, failing that, a silent shared work space).

I don't think most younger devs know or care about Extreme Programming. That book was published 17 years ago.

I don't see how anyone could possible claim GAE or similar offerings from Google compete anywhere close to what Microsoft or Amazon is providing. My take on it between Amazon and Microsoft: Microsoft has less functionality but with an easier UI. Amazon is light years ahead of anyone but their UI scheme (from naming things to where they position features and options) is pretty lack luster.
These days, GCP completely blows away AWS in every area where they overlap, especially VMs, networking and cloud storage. GCP is generally a lot more consistent and modern, having benefited from a clean-slate design and Google's expertise in designing huge continent-spanning infrastructure solutions. Some examples: * AWS Glacier looks pretty nifty until you realize that Google's equivalent, the coldline storage class…
That's not only technically impressive, it's also really good customer service.

Yes, I was trying to go for sarcasm since open office plans have been advocated for by programmers for at least 17 years.

Be careful of all the stereotyping though. I'm 23, have heard of Extreme Programming, and absolutely want my own private office (and, failing that, a silent shared work space).

Another cool thing I've experienced with Google Cloud: a while ago I had a VM running, with the default 7.5 GB RAM for a 2 CPU VM. Then when I came back some days later, I got a message saying that the VM had only been using ~3GB of RAM, and that I could save money by reducing the VM's RAM, by clicking "this button". Then I clicked the button, the VM's RAM was reduced and, if I recall correctly, it didn't even requir…
Microsoft has done some very good things and some very bad things. I'll let everyone else point out the bad things because there seems to be plenty of that. I personally like the: Surface products, Typescript, C#/F#, .NET Core, Visual Studio Code, and the Hololens. These are all recently new developments for Microsoft that are really awesome. The fact that a lot of this has become open source is even better. You have…
Have you personally tried the Hololens? They appear to have oversold the qualities of at least the first version.
