Musings about software

I am a skeptic of the utility of LLM in software development.

In the OpenSource Supply Chain discourse in the past few years, we got many versions of the same article.

I regularly comment on the Internet on my views on most schemes proposed to fix FOSS problems.

For quite some time, I have felt some unease at the public discourse around OpenSource.

There is a term that is on a lot of lips lately.

When you hear that one of the vendors responsible for keeping government organizations safe had a security breach, you can easily decide that this is unacceptable.

We look at the world and make decisions for our actions through models.

Recently, PyPI announced that they would force everyone that maintains a project or an organization on the platform will have to enable 2FA.

It would be a major boon to software velocity, maintenance burden and safety to bring more attention to developer tooling, in particular bringing to everyone’s toolkit the techniques and technologies developed since the 80s but that was never mainstreamed.

When you peruse the depth of software engineering as a discipline, you find a lot of techniques and tools laying around in corners.
