That problem happened because there was no way to travel from town to town quickly so if the clocks were off nobody cared. The trains changed that.

In the short term it really helps productivity, but in the end the reward for working faster is more work. Just doing the hard parts all day is going to burn developers out.

This leads to weird bugs when you change indentation and miss a line or reorder lines. The logic changes. Not too bad when you’re on your own, as Python seems to be intended for. Add multiple developers and git merges and it is a recipe for disaster. With end tags at least you just end up with poorly formatted working code.

I’d love to see some stats on how many people use please and thank you in prompts.

There is no need for a separate sound card now, it is built in.

Dynamically typed languages don’t scale. Large project bases become hard to maintain, read and refactor.

Add YAML to that for the same reason.

Active Directory, for joining an account in a network.

In personal experience there has been a big rise of Linux on the server and more people being forced to get used to it. Docker is pushing this along even more now. We are seeing the continued rise in osx and improvements in the Linux desktop. Moving away from windows is becoming more acceptable now, even in corporations. This will continue!
