#1 Just because a group of people can code does not mean their code works in the real world. They can actually be disconnected from reality.

They end up in shock mode at first during alpha releases, when their system is introduced to the end user for the first time who often times say, "what the hell is this".

In other words, geeks are by no means the oracle of real world wisdom.

Speak for yourself sir.

My code always worked the very first time it was run. It never bugged out, needed regression testing or ever had a change order.

HELLO was always crystal clear on the screen.

Never any problems in 30+ years, as long as you ignore the piles of dead users left behind.

#6 Microsoft sells software for facial recognition based on its cloud product Azure. Third parties can purchase Microsoft’s software for use in their own applications.
