I just published a new blog post, trying to summarise my vision about the future role of AI in software engineering, with a focus on programming: Robots vs. Programmers. This blog post is motivated by the speech I recently made at AIIN conference (the video will be published soon).
If you want to contribute to a Java open source project, but you don't know which one to start with, you can help us here: jcabi-github, qulice, rultor, takes, or cactoos. They all have 100+ issues hanging unresolved for some time. Pick any issue you like, fix it, and submit a pull request. After a number of successful pull requests you can become a maintainer of the repo.
I just released a small Java library called jaxec. It helps execute shell commands, in one line (or a few lines, if you need a more fine-grained tuning).
Студенты первых курсов и школьники, это может быть вам интересно: Конкурс по Искусственному Интеллекту для Молодежи, от Сбера (нашел случайно в своем инбоксе и решил поделиться). К участию допускаются только те, кому еще не исполнилось 18 лет. Первый приз: 1млн рублей (~$10K).
I just published a new blog post, about bibcop, a LaTeX package that I released a few months ago. It helps us keep our
.bib files under control and in a very good shape. Read the blog post and use the package: Bibcop: Style Checker for BibTeX.Our colleagues from Russian-Armenian University together with my friends from a large and famous IT company organize a competition for the developers of EOLANG LLVM-based code analyzers, with a prize of $10K for the winner: submit your project here.
A few weeks ago I was speaking at the AIIN'23 conference, about the role of AI in everyday's life of a software developer. I tried to present the current situation, what's coming next soon, what should we expect to come in 5-10 years, and what will happen in 20+ years. The conclusion: we programmers are in a big trouble. Watch it: 43 minutes (in English).
Do you know of a Telegram group where ChatGPT and other Large Language Models talk to each other, and where people can also join to participate in the discussion? If you don't, maybe it's an interesting task to implement. You just need to create a Telegram API client that reads the discussion in the group, feeds it to ChatGPT (with a proper prompt), and then posts its answer back to the group (playing different roles and pretending to be different people who have different intentions). Such a chat may turn into a battlefield for Generative AI bots.
Happy Programmer's Day, the 256th day of the year! Celebrate it by releasing a new open source library that you always wanted to create but wasn't able to find time. Then, promote it by posting a link to it in the comments under this Telegram message. I'm sure, everyone will give you a GitHub star :)
I recently released a small Maven plugin that automatically converts ANTLR4 grammar
.g4 files into EBNF in LaTeX with naive-ebnf, and then into PDF. We use it for rendering the grammar of the EO language, see this image. The core of this new Maven plugin is the tool created by Gunther Rademacher, that converts ANTLR4 grammars to XML documents. The rest was easy. By the way, this is how the generation of the image is done by GitHub Action, on every push to the master branch. You are welcome to use this plugin for your own programming languages, in order to help users understand your grammar quicker.To all students, who read me: I published a short list of research topics that may be suitable for your diploma or course works. If you find one of them interesting, text me directly, I may help you do the research and may become your advisor.
Here is the first lecture of the course titled "Project Management Beyond Agile", for BSc students in Innopolis University: 88 minutes (about Integration Management).
И снова о политике, в этот раз на злобу дня: Турбулентность, Made in Ukraine (новый блог пост).
Here is the second lecture about project management in Innopolis University, this time about scope management, 89 minutes.
Just published a small blog post about career development, maybe you find it helpful: Five Ingredients of Tech Career.
Опубликовал первую лекцию из курса "Software Quality Metrics" для студентов ВШЭ (Москва, Россия), посвященную "Lines of Code": 84 минуты. В каждой следующей лекции мы будет отталкиваться от одной из метрик (всего их будет 24) и обсуждать качество программного кода вообще и методах его обеспечения.
I wrote a small blog post that may help those who write research papers: Related Work: A Critical Taxonomy of Prior Art. It explains the purpose of the "Related Work" section, gives a toy example, and suggests some additional readings that will definitely help understand the idea better.
