If you aspire to be a software engineer for a tech giant or big bank, you first must pass a coding test. To practice for such technical interviews, millions of job candidates turn to LeetCode, a test prep site I founded 13 years ago. Some industry insiders, citing the growing capacity of tools like OpenAI's GPT-4 to generate code, have expressed doubts about the future of software engineering as a career path.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has even gone as far as declaring that kids no longer need to learn how to code. While AI has certainly transformed society by automating tasks and improving efficiency, there are certain roles that AI will not replace—one of which is the software engineer.

There was a time when smoke tests were literal. When every startup started by buying their own racks of server hardware, the initial smoke test of a new hardware configuration involved a technician standing in the server closet to make sure smoke didn’t start pouring out of any of the components. Then, as now, the process of testing software was a balance between the complexity of testing and speed.

How To Create a Python GUI To Write Data to a File With PyQt5You might think Python is only good for text-based applications and web app development but on that front you’d be wrong. For those who are interested in creating GUI apps with Python, some libraries and bindings make it possible. One such binding is PyQT5. Last time around I walked through through the process of creating a basic GUI with this set of cross-platform C++ libraries but that app really didn’t do much beyond Hello, World.

Last night a very special event offered over three hours of insights and history about the world’s second-largest open source project (after Linux). As Kubernetes celebrated its 10th anniversary, Google’s Mountain View campus hosted a parade of key figures from the community who all helped make it happen. As the evening rolled along, speakers came from every level of the project:Dawn Chen spoke after 17 years at Google — as one of the leads of its fateful Borg project.

PITTSBURGH — It’s not just hype: generative AI is a different kind of technology. How different? Just try to define what “open source AI” means. That’s the task ahead of the Open Souce Initiative (OSI), as it embarks on a roadtrip across continents to finalize a definition of “open source AI” that most of its stakeholders can live with. PyCon US, held here in May in a city built on building things, marked the first stop in the roadtrip, which is being supported by the Alfred P.
