I thought it was an old boring Java/C++ place, but it seems that they can have some fun :).

2016-s default gentlemen's choice: Azure, Win10, Docker, CoreCLR, ASP.NET Web API, F#, TypeScript.

Unfortunately it pushed the industry on the wrong path. Now everyone is coming app with transpilable super-sets and some folks are even pushing the unmaintainable code to the previously safe server-side (node, meteor etc.).

How can you f..k up something that is screwed up from the start? Oh, the beauty: http://wtfjs.com

Google consists of openly competing departments as far as I understand? Java vs Go vs Dart vs Python vs AtScript vs Sane/Sound/Script. They are either non-general-purpose (DSL) or competing.

Sounds great, but how is ageism going to be fixed first? It's one of the drivers for becoming managers.

OK, you probably know more than me. I just assumed that most of those libraries are then consumed from something like Python. If you want to develop high-performance libraries themselves, then C++ is probably the way to go. Unless you want

"I would really like get more involved in machine learning, data analytics, scientific computing" - this doesn't sound like C++ at all.

It's quite a different and useful language but definitely not a better one. You have to be forgiving, as F# is struggling to get more traction, especially in terms of tooling... No ReSharper, no CodeRush, no Roslyn. But I've heard

Nah, rather market needs to pay us more for knowing it. Then we'll learn it.

So, not Dart, not Go.

If they could add native C#(+HTML5) support to Spartan now that would be amazing...

Good analogy. One can also become a "porn" actor: producing lots of poor-quality ad-driven Android games (which is most of Android games).

Yeah, market loves games that are f..ing people right in the brain: Candy Crush Saga, Clash of Clans and other 3 word combinations slapped on psychologically-tuned IAP "fun".

Don't want to rub it in, but I thought the rule #1 of modern start up is to never bet your own money.

"I have to learn & master yet another framework like Ember and Backbone. And all of the hard work that I've put into learning Angular would have been for nothing." Would it be awkward to send him that Angular 2.0 change

Yes, long-term everything could be printed via nano-robots. Even if not directly but as a sequence of building different plants. So something like a seed nano-robot colony + manufacturing blue-prints.

It's interesting what would be 80s/90s person assumption? "1.6B in funding! Oh boy, robots, life extension, hover cars!" "Err, no. But you will be targeted with ads about food delivery and HR services much more prec

If I could play mainstream indie titles from Steam in a touch-friendly manner on a tablet... Man, I would throw my CandyCrushClanClash-infested iPad and Nexus right into a fire barrel.

I guess Pluralsight might be interested in a series later on. Sounds similar to what NServiceBus is doing, but unfortunately NServiceBus is a bit of an endemic.

Yes, and Oculus Rift is now less relevant as well (good timing for selling it to Facebook). Why buy a dedicated heavy wired non-see-throw helmet? To shit yourself when someone is tapping your shoulder?

1 year to product announcement, but the whole retina-projection thing might be game changing.

They have a vision, Minecraft was fitting that vision. So they consumed it. It was smart. Project Spark makes more sense now as well.
