Developers: Top 3 Things to Change about MSFT

Hello developers,

I am examining trends in developer satisfaction with Microsoft.
Without starting a flame war, I would really appreciate it if you
respond with the top 3 things that, as a developer, you would change
about Microsoft and/or developing on Windows. Please only provide
comments that I can use in a paper. Also, could you let me know what
programming language you primarily use and how you would classify
yourself as a developer (e.g. enterprise IT, large ISV, small ISV,
consultant, etc.)

Thank you everyone in advance!

Hi. Our company has about 20 application developers/architects and one certified dba. Our developers both design the databases and build the applications. We're confused about what permissions a developer is supposed to have. On the one hand, we obviously don't want developers to have privileges like shutting down the db. On the other hand, some of the Oracle tools, like Change Management Pack, are things that our developers need to run....

I don't know if I should even start this topic but here goes. I'm an ex vb6 developer, now developing in C#. The reason why I started developing in C# is because the company that I worked for at the time standarised on C#. Many of my friends working in previous companies that I worked for are starting to move back to VB.Net. When I asked them why, it seems that the next release of VB.Net seems very promising and they kinda see...

I'd like to open a discussion about the state of the industry. For the past year, I've been unable to find competent Access developers available for hire. I'm worried about that. I think there's great demand right now, and that's keeping the good developers busy, but that's not enough to explain the situation. Whenever I post an Access job, I get lots of responses from .NET developers, back-end database people, and web developers. They...

Every single time neophytes or converts ask about naming and style conventions what are they told by the majority consensus? The answer is "do what you prefer but do so consistently" right? Yes, that's right, that's exactly what is said. People joining a team of developers are also encouraged to cooperate with their peers and adopt what has already been established right? Yes, that's exactly what is encouraged. Teamwork and cooperation...

I'm just recently come to work for an auto brokerage firm. My position involves performing mysterious rites, rituals and magick in order to get information out of their access database. This is due to the fact that the "designer" they hired had an unfortunate ability to tink around with a program far beyond her reach. She had no concept of any of the principles of database design, so what i'm left with is a junkpile. The only reason I...

This may come across as a trolling message, it's not ment to be. It's intended to share a recent experience I had with Mac OS in an entertaining way. I'm doing this because I love technology in general and most programmers I know are passionate about technology, unfortunately many of them stay away from Mac. Some as if it's the forbidden fruit (you know you're out there) and others because they think it's OS for people who aren't...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
