Windows updates are not fun, but let's get a few things clear. 1. Windows 11 or 10 does not force reboot when you are in the middle of work. It actually knows when you are working and updates are scheduled outside those hours, also called Active hours. 2. Windows 11 will only force install updates if you've been skipping updates for several weeks. Windows clearly warns several times before rebooting the PC. Again, it does not happen in Active hours. 3. In this case, Wassim's PC could have been updated to apply his organization specific updates (not Windows) or it was the IT team that choose to force install updates at this hour. Wassim is clearly a tech savvy person, based on his posts on X. He is very well equipped to handle such cases. And he could have easily avoided it. Granted, Windows Updates are annoying, but Windows is one of the most open, adaptive, and versatile OS, which also makes it vulnerable. macOS is restricted and less vulnerable. People would be first to blame Microsoft if their PC gets infected, but Microsoft actually does a great job with these monthly security updates.

Ten or fifteen years ago, test-driven development was considered a near requirement for serious developers. I don't see it discussed nearly as much these days. Everyone recognizes the value of tests, but the "test first" evangelism is almost completely gone.

The biggest predictor of coding ability is Language Aptitude. Not Math. A study posted in Nature found that numeracy accounts for just 2% of skill variance. Meanwhile, the neural behaviors associated with language accounted for 70% of skill variance.
