They don't care as long as they can get in, make a few bucks, and get out. Long-term stability isn't the priority anymore, just quick profits.

 

I was presented with this captcha before completing an online purchase this morning on my phone. The window is too small to see all of the images or the "Verify" button.

I did eventually realize that I can swipe upwards to scroll down a bit and see the rest, but there's no visual indicator to do so. It took me a bit to figure it out.

Who says programmers don't have a sense of humor?

No one. It's just what you pretend people say to make yourself feel like some kind of special exception.

Your analogy is very incomplete. No one is saying that Intel's products or technology is "moving backwards", but rather that their market share and performance as a company are declining.

Take your person "standing still" and imagine they were previously in the lead during a marathon and suddenly stopped before the finish line. They're not moving backwards, but their position in the race is dropping from first, to second, to third, and they will eventually be last if they don't start moving again.

I sometimes name booleans after the action that will be taken rather than the condition they represent For example, I might have booleans called "doQuickInit" or "invertResult". I find this very useful when the value of a boolean is determined by a complex series of conditions that are not actually true or false.

Embedded software developer here.

Oh damn, I thought I was going to be the only one here!

I don't know how you get by with only one. Between source code, simulators/emulators, datasheets, requirement specs, log files, e-mails from senior devs with tribal knowledge not written down anywhere else, and a bunch of other bullshit, I sometimes find 3 24" monitors to be lacking.

Distractions aren't a problem because I can easily use up all that screen real estate for a single task.
