Just a short reminder: submit your paper on software architecture and its impact on software quality to #SWQD2026 in beautiful Vienna 🇦🇹

The AI boom is unsustainable unless tech spending goes ‘parabolic,’ Deutsche Bank warns: ‘This is highly unlikely’ | Fortune “In the absence of tech-related spending, the U.S. would be close to, or in, recession this year,” George Saravelos says.

Here are two easy things YOU can do:

#1 Every academic supporting #openscience and #openaccess should consider ORE as their primary publishing venue and ask colleague/co-authors to do the same.

#2 Point your librarian, institutional leaders, funding agencies towards the documents linked above […]

I will never understand why training an AI is free access, but training a human brain costs $42 per PDF.

... and why "almost"?

"Indeed, this is almost a replication of a previous study where the authors simply use a different set of projects. This is not enough to justify the publication [at this prestigious journal]."

Dear #reviewer, could you please then clarify what kind of replication study would be justified for […]

We as authors are concerned about this expected shift: trust, understanding & accountability in collaborative software engineering will erode—and it will start with code review.

Practitioners expect the roles of code author and code reviewer to lie on continuous spectra, each ranging from fully human-led to fully LLM-led. Based on this human–AI interplay in code review, four possible futures of collaborative software engineering begin to take shape.

The developers expect that

1️⃣ #codereview will stay central taking as much or more time & covering more artifacts
2️⃣ With LLMs more and more integrated in #codereview, the human-led software engineering will shift

Code written by #AI reviewed by #AI, what could possibly go wrong? 🙃

In our new preprint, we asked 92 developers from SAP, Ericsson, JetBrains & a large Nordic bank about the future of #codereview and reflect on what their expectations mean for code review and collaborative #softwareengineering […]

Excel with three warnings and two of them redundant.

Hey #microsoft the only warning I want in Excel is, 'Are you sure you want to open this file you just opened?'

One the one hand: Big shoutout to #MistralAI for making the environmental cost of their #AI public: A 400‑token response from Mistral Large 2 emits ~1.14 g CO₂e, roughly the same as streaming ~10 seconds of Netflix. On the other hand: 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 […]

Created a 220,733 x 220,733 similarity matrix. Now I know which code reviews are similar, but I waited so long I forgot why I cared.

This is your yearly reminder that anyone who publishes CS papers should have a personal website that lists their current position, research interests, publications, and email address.

If you don't, it's basically impossible for me to invite you to a PC […]

I don’t just hate Microsoft Teams for the meetings. I hate it for making me question my calendar, my career path, and my will to live.

Dear anonymous authors,

#Reviewer2 here. I loved your paper. I believed in it. I fought for it. I argued. I wept. It still got rejected. It’s not you. It’s me. I let you down. :(

At Amazon, some coders say their jobs have begun to resemble warehouse work Comments
