Meta woke up this morning and unleashed some new automoderation tool which has nuked hundreds, possibly thousands, of massive groups.

The community is immediately blaming AI, and are rightly furious at Meta.

It may be old, but this is bad market research advice. Like everything, it is about the implementation rather than the existence of the option itself.

What it speaks to more crucially, is that the market research industry struggles to analyse results that can't be shown in a pie graph
Stop Including "Don't Know" Responses In Your Survey Data

I need to write up a piece about the power of 'i don't know/unsure' in survey design and analysis because it is exhausting watching people slide over the insights from it

An important consideration when looking at reports of #developers and administrators describing new technologies or processes as complex, is to disentangle is the technology complex in and of itself, or are there groups of developers just with less experience to these technologies in general?

During the research for the return of the #CNCF Tech Radars, we asked developers about where they *feel* there are gaps in the cloud-native ecosystem. This supported the new CNCF Ecosystem Gaps report, which both summarised the findings and recommended solutions to explore
CNCF Ecosystem Gaps
Cloud native technologies have revolutionized how organizations build and deploy applications, but this transformation also presents challenges. In our Q3 2024 CNCF Radar, which over 300 cloud native…

Hello all!

I'm an analyst and consultant who studies the 'developer economy', i.e. the behaviours and practices of software developers. I'll be using this page to share interesting snippets from my work, as well as public reports and interviews.
