We do not provide evidence that:
- #AI systems do not currently speed up many or most #softwareDevelopers
- AI systems do not speed up individuals or groups in domains other than #softwareDevelopment
- AI systems in the near future will not speed up #developers
- There are not ways of using existing AI systems more effectively

I don't get all these articles about #softwaredevelopers must now suddenly learn other skills than #coding. The tenor is always #ai will do the coding, and now devs need problem solving skills, learn to communicate clearly and so on.
This feels a lot of what a more seasoned dev and someone just staring out sets apart. You learn to think and talk in a structured, well known way by coding, later you learn to keep the bigger picture in mind. Wonder what happens if we lose this starting out phase.
Ars Technica: Open Source devs say AI crawlers dominate traffic, forcing blocks on entire countries. “Software developer Xe Iaso reached a breaking point earlier this year when aggressive AI crawler traffic from Amazon overwhelmed their Git repository service, repeatedly causing instability and downtime. Despite configuring standard defensive measures—adjusting robots.txt, blocking known […]

The Future of Open Source in the Tech Industry – Will Companies Share $10 Billion AI Models?
Open-source technology has revolutionized the software industry, fostering innovation, collaboration, and transparency. But as AI models grow in complexity and cost—sometimes exceeding $10 billion in development—will tech giants continue to embrace open-source principles?

Thanks to @hanafrla for sharing this study with me. Considering how much of my circle is #Trans #SoftwareDevelopers, it seems fitting to share here as well.
Issue 2 of the Developer Science Review is out! We highlight research on:
- social identity threat
- compassion fatigue
- evaluating thought-leadership
- and measuring traits.
describing how each piece of research is relevant for #softwaredevelopers and those who study #DeveloperExperience.

Staff augmentation is the outsourcing of expanding your team with the help of the right external talent to support short-term projects.
Hey, fellow software developers! Sometimes code passes your code bad data. Do you throw exceptions? Return false? Hope for the best? (YOLO)
Would love to hear your reasons why. And please share so other developers can weigh in.
> the #TeaProtocol perversely incentivizes #software #developers to exaggerate their contribution to #openSource #development. Using a modified PageRank called #teaRank, #softwareDevelopers are rewarded based on their “Proof of Contribution”... and a few software developers have spammed #foss #repositories with absurd amounts of worthless #packages.
Looking forward to a great @fosdem this weekend! Hope to see you there https://fosdem.org/2024/ #OpenSource #FOSDEM #FOSS #events #career #jobs #SoftwareDevelopers #community #collaboration
A helpful reminder for all #softwareDevelopers in 2024 – remember to hold down both the record and play buttons simultaneously to save your program to cassette often as you are coding.
That code is not going to save itself you know.
