As an introvert I don't typically like being the center of attention. It took me some courage, but I gave a talk this Wednesday at the #QualityEngineering #meetup at #JetBrains in Berlin. With a record number of signups I delivered my talk titled "Quality Communication" in front of 100 people.

If you are interested you can finde the slides on my website: patrick-moelk.eu/en/events/tal

Hey developers, please click on articles and read before reacting 🤦.

Github CEO didn't urge you to "Embrace AI or leave Github", he urged you to "Embrace AI or stop being a programmer".

The action we should decide from that quote is not leaving Github or promote Codeberg ; we should all have done these things long ago anyway.

The actions we should decide from that provocation is to stand against anyone telling us how to do our job (= micromanagement) and anyone who predicts/dictates the future based on their financial interests. We should show them how diverse our practices are, how being a programmer is much more than coding, and how wrong and ridiculous they are.

The latest FOSS Academic post involves more wrestling with the implications of #generativeAI for academic peer review:

In this post, I take observations from software #developers and #openSource podcasters (such as the folks at @latenightlinux ) about how genAI is swamping things like bug bounties and code reviews. This is similar to some of the issues faced by academic peer reviewers.

India now has 17M open source developers with 30% YoY growth.

From consuming to leading and contributing globally, the momentum is real.

www.linkedin.comI’ve covered open source for years — and what’s happening in India right now is remarkable. | Swapnil BhartiyaI’ve covered open source for years — and what’s happening in India right now is remarkable. The numbers stopped me in my tracks: India now has 17 million open source developers with 30% YoY growth—the fastest globally. In this episode, I spoke with Arpit Joshipura, head of LF India, about how the country has become the fastest-growing open source developer hub in the world — now home to over 17M developers and dozens of contributions to global foundations like Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), OpenSSF, and LF AI & Data Foundation & Data.  What struck me most wasn’t just the scale, but the shift underway: “India is not just consuming open source—they are donating, leading, and contributing at the front end,” he told me, pointing to Infosys donating AI frameworks to LF Networking." The upcoming Open Source Summit India (Aug 5) represents more than an event—it's a milestone in India's journey from open source consumer to global contributor. With government mandate backing open source for critical infrastructure and 11 Linux Foundation sub-foundations now supporting the region, we're witnessing a fundamental shift in the global open source landscape. The question isn't whether India will become the world's largest open source hub—it's how quickly. Worth watching this space closely. The momentum is real. And this conversation shows why India is becoming a global force in open source infrastructure.

“According to the latest revised data by the #BLS, the #IT #JobMarket shrank by 26,500 YTD," Janco CEO Victor Janulaitis said of the latest data. "That is after adjusting the May data down by 4,300, June data down by 7,800 jobs, and reporting that 10,300 #jobs were #lost in July."

For those keeping count, that's 20,300 more than the 6,200-job shortfall at the same point in 2024, and we're now in what tends to be the worst half of the year for #layoffs. “

“Janulaitis blamed economic uncertainty for continuing to drag down IT hiring - a sentiment #CompTIA agreed on, though the firm noted that there were still some bright spots of demand.

CompTIA stated that, while staffing reductions were made in IT, custom #software services, cloud #infrastructure and telecom, other roles such as #developers and #SoftwareEngineers, system #architects, #support specialists, and #cybersecurity mavens are among those in demand.

Janco said that #unfilled IT-specific roles tend to be related to #AI, #LLMs, #Blockchain, and OmniCommerce technologies.
