      pubsub.slavino.sk / infoworldcom · Thursday, 11 January - 23:25 edit

    Most developers are optimistic that AI will reduce their workload and are eager to use it, but some don’t trust AI, according to a newly released report from technical hiring platform CoderPad.

    The report, State of Tech Hiring 2024 , published January 9, found that 70% of developers believe AI will help reduce their workload and 60% want to use AI more as part of their job. Developers surveyed reported confidence in AI-assisted tools, citing benefits such as code assistance, learning and tutorials, auto-completion, code generation, and documentation and API support.

      Why cloud architects are paid well

      pubsub.slavino.sk / infoworldcom · Friday, 5 January - 10:00 edit

    The majority of IT workers earned more in 2023 than in 2022. Indeed, average annual salaries increased in 2023 by nearly $20,000. This is according to Skillsoft’s IT Skills and Salary report . As most may have guessed, cloud skills are particularly lucrative, with IT professionals in the United States commanding approximately $168,000 annually.

    I keep tabs on the job market for a few reasons. First, my clients need to hire cloud skills, and I need to advise them about the going rate. Often, they don’t budget enough and either don’t find the expertise they need or hire lower-skilled talent and then suffer from the mistakes these less-skilled employees make. This is truly one of those areas where you get what you pay for.

      LinkedIn open sources its Developer Productivity and Happiness Framework

      pubsub.slavino.sk / infoworldcom · Wednesday, 27 December - 10:00 edit

    Looking back on 2023, two key themes underlaid much of what drove the new tools and technologies across the entire development ecosystem. One was artificial intelligence, both using and building it, and the other was making developers more productive.

    That last one was perhaps the hardest to quantify and describe. For one thing, developer productivity came in many forms, from new design patterns and practices that simplified cloud-native and mobile development, to tools that codified years of experience, providing ways for different engineering disciplines to collaborate and deliver consistent results.

    Some of productivity’s prominence may have come from the rough economic waters that drove engineering teams to deliver more with less. Other reasons included the ongoing “app gap” and a growing need to deliver cross-platform solutions. The result is a more mature approach to engineering, treating it more as a science and less as an art.

      9 ways to keep your developer team happy

      pubsub.slavino.sk / infoworldcom · Monday, 18 December - 10:00 edit

    It’s no secret that software developers are in demand. Even in uncertain economic times, organizations are eager to find and retain people who know how to code.

    An important question for development team leaders, then, is what factors make developers happy on the job? Team leaders also need to know what doesn't work. With plenty of options available, talented developers have little incentive to stay in a workplace that doesn't measure up to their expectations.

    Developer job satisfaction must be a priority for any company looking to create quality software. We asked developers and other industry experts what makes developers happy at work. Here's what they had to say.

      3 ways to reduce stress on the DevSecOps team

      pubsub.slavino.sk / infoworldcom · Monday, 18 December - 10:00 edit

    I recently moderated a session for the CSO Cybersecurity Summit on building resilience and addressing employee anxiety amid organizational transformation. My session focused on the stresses and burnout experienced by security teams, including recent data showing that 94% of chief information security officers (CISOs) suffer from work-related stress, and 65% admit their stress levels compromise their ability to do their job.

    Work-related stress is on the rise , and in 2022, 81% of workers reported that workplace stress affected their mental health, compared to 78% of respondents in 2021. Forbes Advisor recently reported that 36% of workers surveyed experienced stress, 26% grappled with anxiety, and 20% reported burnout.

      Cloud pros need to master office politics

      pubsub.slavino.sk / infoworldcom · Tuesday, 25 April, 2023 - 09:00 edit

    It’s 9:00 Monday morning, and you arrive at the office for your first week of hybrid work to learn that your cloud application has been shut down by the security team. You later find out that the security team leader did not feel respected enough during the development process and went to the CIO and got your stuff shuttered until he or she could issue approval. It caused a three-week delay in launching a needed cloud-based system.

    A normal response to this situation would be anger, but you likely made mistakes here. Clearly, there was some requirement or policy that you needed approval from the security team, but you chose not to get it. Of course, the security team knows nothing about cloud-based systems and security, so you figured they would be no help. Maybe that’s true. However, the end result is wasted time and money negatively impacting the business.

      9 home office essentials for developers who WFH

      pubsub.slavino.sk / infoworldcom · Monday, 25 April, 2022 - 10:00 edit

    The pandemic may or may not be over, but the home office is here to stay . Some workers might miss their morning commute and some bosses still believe in the power of having everyone under the same roof, but plenty of companies see the cost and productivity advantages of letting everyone work from home. You may not work remotely every day, but it still pays to take your home office setup seriously.

    The ideal home office? It's your choice

    When the pandemic first hit, many of us promptly commandeered the dining room table and made the best of it. With remote work shifting to be permanent option, at least for some, it makes sense to think about just how wonderful your home office could be. Good furniture is the most obvious—and ergonomic—place to start, but there's also an opportunity to rethink your home network, local servers, and storage and safety concerns.

      Build a cloud culture to attract and keep skilled people

      pubsub.slavino.sk / infoworldcom · Tuesday, 23 November, 2021 - 11:00 edit

    According to this recent report from Skillsoft , the expanding skills gap will continue to create the most issues during this time of rapid technological change, combined with the intense pressure on IT teams to deliver innovative solutions. The Skillsoft report reveals that 38% of IT decision-makers said that the rate of technological change outpaces their existing skills inventory. In other words, they want to be innovative to capture more market share, but they lack the right in-house skills to pull it off. About one-third of survey respondents (35%) also reported that this problem is compounded by their inability to attract qualified candidates.
