Microsoft looking to end bugs in software by monitoring developers

The idea is to track eye movements and other mental and physical characteristics of the
developers, in order to spot when their alertness levels drop or they are struggling with
a task -- which is when errors are most likely to creep into their work.

This sounds like exactly the wrong way to deal with the issue, but I have a feeling it will catch on.

("Submit to nonstop surveillance or no paycheck for you!")

 

Software developers don't seem to have a bright future anymore. I propose to name this idea as: iQuit!

 

Where do they come up with these stupid ideas from ?

 

I am really, really hoping this is satire.

Edit: it is not.

 

The problem here is that people can't. The economy's still terrible; chances of finding a decent job after quitting are low, and get lower with each passing day out of work.

Ah, but the problem is, it actually works! In the short term anyway. In the long term I'll bet it will result in burnt-out developers with vision problems, but by then nobody will be able to question it.

 

Better patent that.

 

Oh please GJ, calm down. My insanity does not approve it so I'm sure they'll drop this silly experiment sooner or later. Just consider it as yet another lol moment in the computing universe.

Nah, Apple has already got that patented I believe. Haven't you heard of Apple's new motto? iGreed?

 

Wait till the insurance companies put it in cars- oh wait

You'd never have the CEO be monitored by the workers on camera to be sure they aren't doing coke and strippers.
