I still remember the moment clearly. I walked into the conference room, prepared to discuss the intersection of cloud computing and 5G, a topic I had presented on numerous times in the past. The executives were enthusiastic about 5G, convinced that it would revolutionize the cloud industry. As I stood before them, I knew I had to express my concerns. “Forgive my bluntness,” I said, “but the promises surrounding 5G are greatly exaggerated. We’re investing in a technology that has yet to live up to its hype, and based on current trends, it may not deliver as expected.” The room…

Python is expected to claim the coveted Tiobe Programming Language of the Year title for 2024, having seen the largest rating increase on Tiobe’s language popularity index this year. The language’s remarkable rise in popularity has propelled it to the top of the rankings, where it currently holds the title of the most popular programming language overall. This growth highlights Python’s continued dominance in the programming landscape, especially within the fields of AI and data science. While Tiobe won’t officially announce the winner until January, Python’s impressive 10% increase in ratings throughout 2024 puts it ahead of all other contenders.…

The popular Ultralytics YOLO package, widely used for creating custom machine learning models, has been compromised through a supply chain attack on PyPI, the official Python package index. The attackers managed to infiltrate the build environment of the library, deploying cryptocurrency mining malware on systems that installed the compromised package. While the malware in this case was used for mining, the attackers could have easily delivered other types of harmful software. According to research from ReversingLabs, the attackers took advantage of a known exploit in GitHub Actions, which allowed them to introduce malicious code during the automated build process. This…

Over the past decade of developing WaveMaker, one recurring expectation we’ve encountered is that low-code platforms will enable business users to easily create feature-rich applications. While this is technically possible, it’s a practice that should be approached with caution. There are key reasons why business teams should not dive into application development, and understanding these reasons is essential for long-term success. In 2021, Gartner predicted that by 2023, the number of active citizen developers in large enterprises would surpass professional software developers by a ratio of 4:1. While this prediction hasn’t fully materialized, the growing trend of citizen development programs…

Large language models (LLMs) have proven themselves as powerful tools, but by themselves, they’re often less reliable than they appear. The term “stochastic parrots” aptly describes their tendency to generate output that can be inaccurate or nonsensical. When combined with data for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), however, LLMs become far more reliable. RAG systems can pull in relevant data, minimizing errors like “hallucinations” where LLMs invent information. Connecting these systems to software that can perform tasks—like sending emails or interacting with other applications—creates what are known as AI agents, making them far more practical and useful. But these systems don’t just…

Generative AI has firmly established itself as a key tool for software developers. According to a recent GitHub survey, over one million developers actively use GitHub Copilot, underscoring AI’s rapid adoption in the developer community. More significantly, these tools are becoming a foundational part of the software development process, comparable in importance to widely used platforms like Visual Studio Code. Developers are leveraging AI not just for assistance but as a “new building block” in creating applications. However, the benefits of AI coding assistants are not distributed evenly. As Addy Osmani, an engineering leader with Google’s Chrome team, notes, “AI…
