Behind the Edge of Open Source: Programming, Virtualization & AI

Working at Black Duck Software affords me a unique perspective on the ways container technologies and open source software continue to radically alter the application security landscape. But it's at conferences and tradeshows where I the most feel part of the wider software development community. While at work (particularly working with OpenHub), I can see and analyze new trends in software development; at these conferences, I experience those shifting tides. Recently I attended RailsConf in Kansas City, Missouri and OSCON in Austin, Texas. I came away from these conferences with a few key insights into how software development has changed since I began working in the field oh-so-long ago.
