@esciencecenter.bsky.socialIt's a wrap! Tuesday was the last Research Software Support Training day, with a lively discussion about Gen AI. Big thanks to our instructors: Sander van Rijn, Ole Mussmann, Ewan Cahen, Jaro Camphuijsen, Lourens Veen, Faruk Diblen, @neocarlitos.bsky.social, Fenne Riemslagh and Eva Lekkerkerker.
@esciencecenter.bsky.socialTools come and go - programming languages, IDEs, frameworks, and now AI โจ. Check out Ole Mussmann's blog post as he unpacks what it means to be a Research Software Engineer in the era of AI-generated code!
@esciencecenter.bsky.socialDid you use to work at the eScience Center, and would you like to reconnect with former colleagues and meet new members of the eScience Center team?

@danielskatz.orgReposted by @esciencecenter.bsky.socialI gave a talk about AI & research software today at @esciencecenter.bsky.social with some of my experiences and a lot of other people's, with lots of questions & few answers, but perhaps some useful ways of thinking about how to get to answers

We will share our stories. our experiences, and our resources, and help make connections. Hope to see you on October 14th๐ค
@esciencecenter.bsky.socialPioneering software engineer Margaret Hamilton passed away last week. She coined the term 'software engineering,' helping to establish software development as a legitimate engineering discipline. For this, and for all her other achievements, we are very much in her debt.
