Life finds a way...
> I know if the potential ulterior motives. And you think the US tech giants don't have any ulterior motives?!
Well, I'm all for making money but the way it was tried here sounds like a pretty bad idea. Developers (or power users for that matter) aren't really known to be generous with their personal money for recurring software…
What was your justification for the monthly fee in the first place? There is a model that worked for decades: If you spent a _significant_ amount of work enhancing an existing tool you'd release a new major version. The…

It almost makes you think there is still some good left in the world.
Your propaganda is becoming a little too obvious, don't you think?!
On the contrary. It's a great day for Europe!
One-time fee? I would be onboard instantly. Monthly fee? For what exactly? There is no recurring cost like server space or anything else. Nope, you lost me as a customer. For good.
The test says that I'm 66% German. As a German I'm not really sure how to interpret that :-)
> Do your own assessment. Yeah, and my primitive home-grown analysis then carries the same weight as those from experts with professional equipment? Oh come on...
I ceases to be legitimate.
The sheer amount of what you _might_ need later in life has proven to be simply too much for the time we usually spend for "overall education". I'm completely with you in that we should offer help along the way. But…
> People die in car crashes. We can't eliminate those altogether, but at least we can take steps towards making things better, instead of telling them that maybe they should just not drive. Tough problems regardless. I…
How would you ensure that the "average user" actually gets to the page he expects to get to? There are risks in everything you do. If the average user doesn't know where the application he wants to download _actually_…
Which 30% are you talking about? Taxes? If so: From what do you build things like infrastructure?
For me it's the opposite: If I had to write the code that I usually use lambdas for in any other way then _that_ would be very difficult to write and to debug. Especially when writing JavaFX code which is full of…
I don't know what to make of this list... Very strange reasoning and even stranger results: Streams 1/10?! Lambdas (maybe the biggest enhancement ever) a mere 4/10?! Sorry, but this is just bogus.
