TechLit Africa is a non-profit on a mission to lessen African poverty by leveraging the internet.  Rural Africans lack digital skills and computers to gain from the digital economy, even though developed countries have an abundance of used computers.  That’s where TechLit Africa comes in.  They accept used computers, refurbish them with custom classroom code, The post TechLit Africa with Nelly Cheboi appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Getting a computer program to run the same in different environments has been a recurring problem since the earliest days of software systems.  Software versioning, versions of dependencies, hardware configurations, and CPU instruction set differences are just a few examples of challenges engineers have faced to get their software to run in different settings.

If you haven’t encountered a data quality problem, then you haven’t yet worked on a large enough project.  Invariably, a gap exists between the state of raw data and what an analyst or machine learning engineer needs to solve their problem.  Many organizations needing to automate data preparation workflows look to Trifacta as a solution.  The post Trifacta with Joe Hellerstein appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

As the internet has grown, increasingly, we are consumers of services provided by corporations rather than owners and operators of our own systems.  To many, this trend towards centralization is antithetical to the spirit of a free and open internet. Urbit is a new operating system and peer-to-peer network.  There are several layers of novel The post Urbit with Galen Wolfe-Pauly appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

InfluxDB is an open-source time-series database.  It’s maintained by InfuxData who offers a suite of products that help organizations gain insights from time-series data.  In this episode, I interview Zoe Steinkamp, Software Engineering and Developer Advocate at InfluxData.  We explore some of the common use cases for time-series databases such as IoT and some recent The post InfluxData with Zoe Steinkamp appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Robotic process automation or RPA refers to software robots constructed to automate some business process.  Perhaps the most ubiquitous example is adding filters to your email inbox.  I’ve worked with a lot of salespeople that configure complex email follow-up campaigns when inbound emails come in, but even that’s a fairly basic example compared to what’s The post UiPath with Boris Krumrey appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Everyone is becoming increasingly aware of supply chains for physical goods.  Software has its own supply chain.  A supply of open source solutions exists as does a demand for these solutions by industry.  Both have surely grown, but it would be nice to have a way of measuring by how much. The State of Software The post The State of Software Supply Chain 2021 with Ilkka Turunen appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Relational databases have been a fixture of software applications for decades.  They are highly tuned for performance and typically offer explicit guarantees like transactional consistency.  More recently, there’s been a figurative cambrian explosion of other-than-relational databases.  Simple key value stores or counters were an early win in this space. Managing a graph data structure is The post MemGraph with Dominik Tomicevic appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

The lifeblood of most companies is their sales departments.  When you’re selling something other than a commodity, it’s typically necessary to carefully groom the onboarding experience for inbound future customers.  Historically, companies approached this in a one-size-fits-all manner, giving all customers a common experience. In today’s data-driven age, a better experience can be provided that The post Amplemarket with João Batalha appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

As cloud providers enable greater levels of specificity and control, they empower compliance-driven enterprise companies.  This level of parameterization is downright inhospitable to a new software engineer and can be a cognitive barrier to entry for a senior professional with a great idea but limited time.  Developers want to focus on their code, algorithms, front The post Render with Anurag Goel appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Writing your application’s code is only half the battle. Getting it to run on your machine is a milestone, but it’s far from your code running in a production environment.  There are an increasing set of options application designers have for helping to manage deployment, environments, and CI/CD. Encore is a backend engine for the The post Building Go Apps Using Encore with André Eriksson appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Microservice architecture has become a ubiquitous design choice.  Application developers typically have neither the training nor the interest in implementing low-level security features into their software.  For this and many other reasons, the notion of a service mesh has been introduced to provide a framework for service-to-service communication. Today’s guest is Zack Butcher.  While working The post Tetrate Service Bridge with Zack Butcher appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Many software projects run the risk of evolving over time to a complex state that is inhospitable for new contributors to join.  This is a dangerous place for a company to be.  Either software needs to remain more accessible, or faster paths must be created to help them get on board.

Climate modeling is increasingly important as supply chains, emergency management, and dozens of other efforts need to make predictions about future conditions and how they will impact business.  Analyzing climate data requires geospatial systems, and those systems need a full-stack geospatial technology solution.

Once a machine learning model is trained and validated, it often feels like a major milestone has been achieved.  In reality, it’s more like the first lap in a relay race.  Deploying ML to production bears many similarities to a typical software release process, but brings several novel challenges like failing to generalize as expected The post Responsibly Deploy AI in Production with Anupam Datta appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.
