The death of Agile?

O'Reilly

Fetishizing pair programming. If you were involved with professional programming in the 80s and 90s, you may remember how radical it was (and, in many shops, still is) to put software developers in touch with users and customers. It’s the single most popular programming language on O’Reilly, and it accounts for 10% of all usage.

Educating a New Generation of Workers

O'Reilly

Assessment is a necessity, and it’s something corporations take very seriously, at least for in-house training programs. Examples of these skills are artificial intelligence (prompt engineering, GPT, and PyTorch), cloud (Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, and Microsoft’s Azure AZ-900 certification), Rust, and MLOps. Why is that?
