What is the impact of open-source software (OSS) on modern software development? 

This episode delves into the findings of a recent study commissioned by Open Text and conducted by Forrester called "Unlock Resources With Automated Open-Source Discovery And Intake". Stan and Rob unpack the evolving role of OSS, shedding light on both its opportunities and challenges.

With 70% of organizations reporting that over half of their coding efforts involve OSS, it's evident that OSS plays a pivotal role in accelerating innovation and reducing costs in software development. However, as the hosts discuss, this rapid adoption isn't without its hurdles.

From ensuring security and compliance to navigating through the complexities of OSS licensing, organizations face a myriad of challenges. Stan and Rob examine the ramifications of overlooking security vulnerabilities, compliance standards, and licensing terms, drawing from real-world examples to underscore the importance of diligent management practices.

But amidst the challenges lies a beacon of hope: automation. The hosts explore how automation is revolutionizing the discovery and integration of OSS components, paving the way for more secure and compliant software development processes. From streamlining discovery to prioritizing security early in the development cycle, automation holds the key to enhancing productivity and mitigating risks.

Looking ahead, Stan and Rob speculate on future directions in OSS management, emphasizing the need for collaboration, early detection of security issues, and continued innovation in the space. Whether you're a developer, a legal expert, or a cybersecurity enthusiast, this episode offers valuable insights into the ever-evolving landscape of open source software.

Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges presented by open source software, and discover how organizations can navigate the open source seas with confidence and agility.

Developer tool integration and AI differentiate workflows to achieve that "fluid" state developers strive for in their work.

Amazon CodeCatalyst and Amazon CodeWhisperer exemplify how developer workflows are accelerating and helping to create these fluid states. That's a big part of the story we hear from Harry Mower, director AWS DevOps Services, and Doug Seven, director, Software Development, AWS CodeWhisperer, from our recording in Seattle earlier in April for this week's  AWS Developer Innovation Day.

CodeCatalyst serves as an end-to-end integrated DevOps toolchain that provides developers with everything they need to go from planning through to deployment, Mower said. CodeWhisperer is an AI coding companion that generates whole-line and full-line function code recommendations in an integrated development environment (IDE).

CodeWhisperer is part of the IDE, Seven said. The acceleration is two-fold. CodeCatalyst speeds the end-to-end integration process, and CodeWhisper accelerates writing code through generative AI.

This episode features an interview with John Kirk, President & CEO of the Retail Solutions Providers Association, or RSPA. As the head of North America’s largest community of VARs, software developers, and vendors in the retail, restaurant, and grocery verticals, John oversees a member network whose mission is to accelerate growth through connections and education. 

On this episode, John discusses retail IT innovation in the SMB space, how VARs can help to optimize supply-chain, and what to expect at the upcoming RetailNOW2021 conference.

3 Takeaways:

• Omnichannel means more conduits to the cash drawer, and with that comes a greater challenge to deliver high-level customer experiences across all channels.
• By providing the right training and technological solutions, value-added resellers (VARs) can help small and medium-sized businesses bridge the gap between overwhelming demand and supply-chain inefficiencies.
• Unable to attend RSPA’s flagship conference, RetailNOW2021? Winning Retail will be there to cover the latest in emerging markets, NextGen technologies, sales and sales management, cybersecurity, leadership training, and customer service.

Key Quotes: 

• “You’ve got to mobilize your operation if you’re going to take mobile orders, and we’ve got to help. We can’t just identify the problem as the RSPA - we’ve got to attack that problem full speed ahead.”
• “Oftentimes when we talk about technologies and innovation, we forget about the ABCs, and you've got to have a secure environment.”
• “If I'm a VAR, I've got to have the right alliances with the right vendors, and they've got to have the right solutions. Then we can turn a problem that our operators are facing into a great opportunity for us to transform our business.”
