Gartner predicts that 75% of employees will acquire, modify, or create technology outside IT's visibility by 2027. That statistic is staggering, but it's not new. Developers inherently want to use the best, most efficient tool for the task, even if it's not within the company's approved tech stack ...
According to a recent survey commissioned by Progress, more than half of global organizations recognize the human-centered software design is a major need and plan to invest in human-centric applications in the next 12 to 18 months. Seventy-six percent of respondents believe that building human-centric applications is more important than it was two years ago due to business considerations and cultural shift ...
We live in a highly autonomous and technological world. We rely on machines and technologies to provide great services and satisfaction, often over human operators. Yet still, behind it all is humans. Humans developing technology, operating technology, overseeing the technology. This is why we should be focused on enabling human-centric development ...
We've been monitoring perceptions of Artificial intelligence (AI) for over a decade and early on we hypothesized that developers might be skeptical and have a difficult time trusting AI. We were wrong ...
By 2028, 75% of enterprise software engineers will use AI code assistants, up from less than 10% in early 2023, according to Gartner ...
Today, more than 98% of websites around the world use JavaScript as their go-to client-side coding language. But this use introduces challenges — today the average web page has more than 60 third-party scripts that are unmonitored and have uncontrolled access to forms and data anywhere on the page. Here are four examples of challenges businesses are facing as a result ...
Cloud development environment (CDE) adoption is growing rapidly, despite the fact it is an emerging technology, according to The Cloud Development Environment Adoption Report from Coder ...
Regardless of what kind of technology you're working with, boosting productivity is pivotal in today's market due to the proliferation of new innovations, the increase of AI, and an increasing consumer demand for a faster time to market. Developer productivity holds immense importance, not merely in coding faster but in making every minute count, particularly when time is constantly working against you ...
If you're planning to develop a new system, especially web apps, the monolith is where you should begin. This approach allows teams to build quickly together without creating silos or adding members simply because there's another language in use ...
Part 2 covers application development: In 2024, composable applications will gain prominence as organizations seek faster development cycles, scalability, and cost efficiency ...
The Holiday Season means it is time for DEVOPSdigest's annual list of DevOps predictions. Industry experts — from analysts and consultants to the top vendors — offer thoughtful, insightful, and often controversial predictions on how DevOps and related technologies will evolve and impact development and the business in 2024 ...
In general, we developers recognize the importance and utility of using diagrams to design systems and document our code. Diagrams help turn black boxes into glass ones. They can help us describe how systems talk to each other, communicate how systems operate internally, identify areas where our models can be simplified, and so on. The process of actually making those diagrams, however, is another story ...
Software engineering leaders are under continuous pressure to adopt modern architectures and technologies. To do this well, they need to know which trends have the greatest potential impact for their digital business efforts within an actionable planning horizon. Gartner announced the top strategic technology trends in software engineering for 2023 and beyond ...
At its simplest, the software industry uses multi-tenancy to explain where software or its architecture splits into manageable chunks. These chunks could save money, simplify processes, or make things safer or easier for customers. Rather than try to unravel the whole term, it's easier to explain the scenarios typically described as multi-tenancy ...
Code generation is the art of writing programs that write other programs. The most common place to use code generation is for generating libraries ... While code generation seems simple at first, there are many sharp corners and hidden surprises in anything beyond the most trivial scenarios ...
To keep up with modern banking and credit card demands, software delivery teams need to release software in a continuous, reliable fashion. As Discover began adopting an open, hybrid, fit-for-purpose, multicloud approach, we also faced a new challenge: How could we enable teams to release necessary software updates and features while maintaining a secure, reliable infrastructure that customers can trust? ...
Now more than ever, organizations must adopt a "Clean as You Code" approach to alleviate the burden on development teams. This approach focuses on code that has been newly introduced or modified, allowing developers to identify and address issues as they code. By doing so, bugs and errors can be caught and fixed early on ...
As organizations navigate the intricacies of modern software development, they often face code-breaking bugs and errors that only arise post-deployment. The costliness of these deployment errors makes it paramount for developers to retain access to rollback capabilities ...
High-quality developer experience has become a critical priority in software delivery, with 58% of software engineering leaders reporting that developer experience is "very" or "extremely" critical to the C-suite at their organizations, according to a survey by Gartner ...
"Shift left" is a worthwhile concept. It has encouraged organizations to think more proactively about software development. But, in practice, it has a few bugs of its own that still have to be worked out ...
