Re:Slack Is Buying HipChat from Atlassian on Thursday July 26, 2018 @10:42PM (#17623083)
At my job we use Slack to track pull requests for review, to monitor alerts for services, to track releases for deployments. Of course we also use it for private team chats. Some of the non-technical people have other bots they use too. Slack is much more than chat.
Re:Apple’s iMac Pro is a love letter to developers on Thursday December 14, 2017 @12:50PM (#15924472)
I would say the ThinkPad 25 is much more of a love letter to developers.

Re:Why do so few people major in computer science? on Tuesday May 30, 2017 @09:15AM (#14445067)
I am a little surprised by so many comments talking about the problems with the CS curriculum in college. If people aren't even majoring in computer science then I would first think that the issue starts before students come to college.

Younger students, K-12, have little exposure to computer science concepts or even programming in general. Sure some schools are great but many public schools in the US are average at best.
