Wasm's Identity Crisis: What the 3.0 Release Tells Us About WebAssembly's Uncertain Future

Sure, but this update to the specification also dredges up ongoing questions about the purpose and identity of WebAssembly (Wasm) that are worth revisiting.

What if defining #open #licensing terms around #AI followed a new path? 🤔

"[Lets find] a new, clean slate term of choice – one that accurately conveys the portions of a model that are open, while not falsely advertising its features by applying the open source brand to non-open source assets" #Redmonk

#SW2con started out with an excellent keynote from the #RedMonk analyst team, the intersection of developers and AI, how we got here and what are the issues. Some papers to read linked from the QR codes. /cc @CSLee @rstephensme

Recently gave a talk on the importance of collaboratively understanding developer productivity using science, instead of mind reading. Massive thanks to #RedMonk for having me and for creating the delightfully inclusive event and community that is #Monktoberfest. Truly one of my favorite experiences this year! PS I would like to formally brag that I hand knit the top that I am wearing (pictured) 😁 #knitting #developer #SoftwareEngineering @seresearchers
