For anyone interested in developer tooling, you won’t be able to find better analysis than the Redmonk team and this pod goes in depth into trends, analysis, and AI’s impact on coding.
James Governor and Kate Holterhoff are analysts at Redmonk, the developer focused analyst firm. They have been doing analysis of open source tooling and developer trends since 2002 when the firm was founded (20+ years ago). In this episode, we talk about analyzing what will persist in hype cycles, AI’s impact on coding practices & languages, and how not to extrapolate our biases in outcomes onto data. If you are a fan of dev tools and open source, you will love this conversation as you can’t find two people who spend more time thinking about this area than James and Kate along with the rest of the Redmonk team.
