It has taken years and years for legacy apps to slowly migrate to the cloud. Some speculate things might be different with containers. Yet, just like with general “cloud,” container usage has thrived most among startups and those deploying applications to greenfields. Just looking at the […]
Women are more successful at getting pull requests accepted than men on GitHub. That’s the conclusion reported in an academic paper, Gender Differences and Bias in Open Source: Pull Request Acceptance of Women Versus Men. By comparing GitHub email addresses with self-reported gender on Google+, researchers found […]

As the number of nodes or machines managing containers in production increases, so does the need for container orchestration tools. As the size of deployments increase, tooling decisions become more important. As we wrote about last week, Kubernetes and HashiCorp see the largest uptick in use as deployment scales increase. […]
Information security pros may be a thorn in developers’ sides, but, in reality, they need each other, and they know it. New Relic just released the results from a survey of both developers and security pros. They found much more agreement than you would think. At least 79 percent of […]
According to a BCG study, long development times have become an even bigger inhibitor to innovation and product development. In an article about NoOps and serverless, Mark Boyd speculated that this is because DevOps adds development time as application builders become weighed down by the need to manage […]
13 million developers are registered with Apple. How many of those are professional coders and how many are just taking advantage of the developer program’s freebies? We don’t know, but we believe most are not professional coders. If they were, then 65 percent of self-identified […]
