The industry is unprepared for this because in the effort to please clients in the now, we are poisoning our trust going forward. For those working as market researchers and analysts, it is crucial to push back against those who seek rapid turnaround to client demands at the expense of good work.

There is a distinct lack of statistical rigour, data literacy, and analytical effort by a large proportion of the market research industry.

As more MR organisations push towards AI to solve all their problems we are going to see a vast decaying of research quality, and a loss of trust.

The #CNCF ecosystem gaps report (based on our data at SlashData) is a good example of how to educate, inform, and support developers on this particular move and migration. Discover where developers think there are gaps, and offer the current best solutions, to help discover the new challenges.
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…

When we survey developers on these topics, we always make sure to get an understanding of who the developers are and what their stacks look like, to try and make it easier to understand the relationship between complexity and experience/competency, and thus how to target solutions.

Many devs trying to implement these are often poorly supported, trained, and equipped to handle all of the issues they are dealing with. And starting off on patched together solutions means the call is coming from inside the house, and the complexity can't be solved by applying a new layer on top.

Managing complexity is a major issue in modern development, but those developing many tools to handle this, especially in the cloud native space, are very talented devs with a huge amount of exposure to all of the processes that lead to this moment.

Hi Liz, do you remember which presentation/panel this was? I am the researcher who worked on this report for CNCF and I am curious to see its use in the wild. Thanks

My particular areas of focus are on #cloud developers, #DevOps practices, IoT (particularly at the edge), and developing new ways to assess software supply chain security at organisations
