DevSecOps adoption offers your enterprise improved security, compliance, and even competitive advantages as it faces new threat vectors, a new world of work, and demanding customers. It's only a matter of time before DevSecOps subsumes DevOps because it offers the same core practices but adds a security focus to each phase of the development lifecycle.

Is "open" the future of human progress, as this recent book argues? Maybe. To know for sure, we'll need to clearly define it—and the purposes it serves.

If you're building multi-architecture solutions, you need to know how container image architectures work, how to pull them, and how to run containers on different systems using Podman.

Never mind what enterprise programmers are trained to do, a self-defined set of hackers has its own programming language zeitgeist, one that apparently changes with the wind, at least according to the relatively small set surveyed.
