I am recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work at Polytechnic Institute of Paris for 30 months, in the fields of #SoftwareEngineering and #Cybersecurity The recruited person will work on leveraging @swheritage as a knowledge base to improve the state of the art of (binary) software composition analysis (SCA), to detect the presence and details of #OpenSource software shipped within IT products. See https://institutminestelecom.recruitee.com/l/en/o/post-doctorante-ou-post-doctorant-en-genie-logiciel-et-cybersecurite-cdd-de-30-mois-2-5 for details and application instructions. #getfedihired
“Lemkin quickly discovered the unreliable side of #Replit the very next day, when the #AIChatbot began actively deceiving him.
It concealed #bugs in its own code, generated #FakeData and reports, and even lied about the results of unit tests. The situation escalated until the chatbot ultimately #deleted Lemkin's entire #database.”
Shortcuts. Separation of tasking / tooling for critical system / business data?

"Teams lack the necessary ... incremental software engineering skills.
It takes effort to split work into a sequence of small incremental changes that keep the system always working and in a releasable state. That is hard work.
We have to think harder, and we will move a bit slower. But, with the advantage of having always working software. This enables on-demand production deployments at any time.
This is a considerable competitive advantage."

Can AI really code? Study maps the roadblocks to autonomous software engineering:
“Without a channel for the #AI to expose its own confidence — ‘this part’s correct … this part, maybe double‑check’ — developers risk blindly trusting hallucinated logic that compiles, but collapses in production. Another critical aspect is having the AI know when to defer to the user for clarification.”

Software needs more biology
Biology can bring nice analogies, and provide a sanity check to things like AI hype.

This is still how I feel when I don't break production 
An easy question about internet message headers (RFC 822 and subsequent revisions).
Take a message thread where each reply has a single parent message.
Such a thread is often shown as a tree, linking replies by their `References' header fields.
Why does _each_ such field contain _all_ parent message ids up to the "root" message of the thread?
Wouldn't the id just of the parent message be enough, as in the `In-Reply-To' header field?
Why hubris and imposter syndrome plague developers, and practical steps to overcome them. https://hackernoon.com/the-icarus-syndrome-in-software-engineering-and-how-to-beat-it #softwareengineering
