How John started to like TDD (instead of hating it) (ViennaJUG, June'25)Nacho Cougil
Let me share a story about how John (a developer like any other) started to understand (and enjoy) writing Tests before the Production code.
We've all felt an inevitable "tedium" when writing tests, haven't we? If it's boring, if it's complicated or unnecessary? Isn't it? John thought so too, and, as much as he had heard about writing tests before production code, he had never managed to put it into practice, and even when he had tried, John had become even more frustrated at not understanding how to put it into practice outside of a few examples katas 🤷♂️
Listen to this story in which I will explain how John went from not understanding Test Driven Development (TDD) to being passionate about it... so much that now he doesn't want to work any other way 😅 ! He must have found some benefits in practising it, right? He says he has more advantages than working in any other way (e.g., you'll find defects earlier, you'll have a faster feedback loop or your code will be easier to refactor), but I'd better explain it to you in the session, right?
PS: Think of John as a random person, as if he was even the speaker of this talk 😉 !

Scaling FME Flow on Demand with Kubernetes: A Case Study At Cadac Group SaaS ...Safe Software
In today’s data-driven world, efficiency is key. For Cadac, a Dutch leading provider of SaaS solutions and Autodesk Platinum partner, ensuring that customers can process data on demand is crucial to delivering a seamless experience. However, with fluctuating user demand, a challenge emerged: How do we scale FME Flow to meet on-the-fly processing needs without over-investing in infrastructure? Enter Kubernetes and KEDA (Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling). In this presentation, we will explore how these cutting-edge technologies helped dynamically scale FME Flow engines based on real-time demand, without wasting resources. Instead of relying on the standard Kubernetes autoscaling based on CPU and RAM metrics, which can lead to ineffective scaling, KEDA can integrate directly with the FME Flow REST API. This allowed autoscaling based on the actual number and type of jobs in the queue. Now, whenever demand spikes, Kubernetes automatically spins up additional machines tailored to the type of workload—whether it’s CPU-intensive tasks or memory-heavy processes—ensuring optimal performance and cost-efficiency. While afterwards also autoscaling to zero, to reduce costs. Join us as we dive into how this approach helped Cadac scale on demand, reduce infrastructure costs, and provide a better experience for their customers. This session will feature both a technical walkthrough and insights on the real-world impact and value this solution has delivered to their platform and client.

Invited Talk at RAISE 2025: Requirements engineering for AI-powered SoftwarE Workshop co-located with ICSE, the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering.
Abstract: Foundation Models (FMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in various natural language tasks. However, their ability to accurately capture stakeholder requirements remains a significant challenge for using FMs for software development. This paper introduces a novel approach that leverages an FM-powered multi-agent system called AlignMind to address this issue. By having a cognitive architecture that enhances FMs with Theory-of-Mind capabilities, our approach considers the mental states and perspectives of software makers. This allows our solution to iteratively clarify the beliefs, desires, and intentions of stakeholders, translating these into a set of refined requirements and a corresponding actionable natural language workflow in the often-overlooked requirements refinement phase of software engineering, which is crucial after initial elicitation. Through a multifaceted evaluation covering 150 diverse use cases, we demonstrate that our approach can accurately capture the intents and requirements of stakeholders, articulating them as both specifications and a step-by-step plan of action. Our findings suggest that the potential for significant improvements in the software development process justifies these investments. Our work lays the groundwork for future innovation in building intent-first development environments, where software makers can seamlessly collaborate with AIs to create software that truly meets their needs.

zOS CommServer support for the Network Express feature on z17zOSCommserver
The IBM z17 has undergone a transformation with an entirely new System I/O hardware and architecture model for both storage and networking. The z17 offers I/O capability that is integrated directly within the Z processor complex. The new system design moves I/O operations closer to the system processor and memory. This new design approach transforms I/O operations allowing Z workloads to grow and scale to meet the growing needs of current and future IBM Hybrid Cloud Enterprise workloads. This presentation will focus on the networking I/O transformation by introducing you to the new IBM z17 Network Express feature.
The Network Express feature introduces new system architecture called Enhanced QDIO (EQDIO). EQDIO allows the updated z/OS Communications Server software to interact with the Network Express hardware using new optimized I/O operations. The new design and optimizations are required to meet the demand of the continuously growing I/O rates. Network Express and EQDIO build the foundation for the introduction of advanced Ethernet and networking capabilities for the future of IBM Z Hybrid Cloud Enterprise users.
The Network Express feature also combines the functionality of both the OSA-Express and RoCE Express features into a single feature or adapter. A single Network Express port supports both IP protocols and RDMA protocols. This allows each Network Express port to function as both a standard NIC for Ethernet and as an RDMA capable NIC (RNIC) for RoCE protocols. Converging both protocols to a single adapter reduces Z customers’ cost for physical networking resources. With this change, IBM Z customers can now exploit Shared Memory Communications (SMC) leveraging RDMA (SMC-R) technology without incurring additional hardware costs.
In this session, the speakers will focus on how z/OS Communications Server has been updated to support the Network Express feature. An introduction to the new Enhanced QDIO Ethernet (EQENET) interface statement used to configure the new OSA is provided. EQDIO provides a variety of simplifications, such as no longer requiring VTAM user defined TRLEs, uses smarter defaults and removes outdated parameters. The speakers will also cover migration considerations for Network Express. In addition, the operational aspects of managing and monitoring the new OSA and RoCE interfaces will be covered. The speakers will also take you through the enhancements made to optimize both inbound and outbound network traffic. Come join us, step aboard and learn how z/OS Communications Server is bringing you the future in network communications with the IBM z17 Network Express feature.

How to purchase, license and subscribe to Microsoft Azure_PDF.pdfvictordsane
Microsoft Azure is a cloud platform that empowers businesses with scalable computing, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity capabilities.
Arguably the biggest hurdle for most organizations is understanding how to get started.
Microsoft Azure is a consumption-based cloud service. This means you pay for what you use. Unlike traditional software, Azure resources (e.g., VMs, databases, storage) are billed based on usage time, storage size, data transfer, or resource configurations.
There are three primary Azure purchasing models:
• Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG): Ideal for flexibility. Billed monthly based on actual usage.
• Azure Reserved Instances (RI): Commit to 1- or 3-year terms for predictable workloads. This model offers up to 72% cost savings.
• Enterprise Agreements (EA): Best suited for large organizations needing comprehensive Azure solutions and custom pricing.
Licensing Azure: What You Need to Know
Azure doesn’t follow the traditional “per seat” licensing model. Instead, you pay for:
• Compute Hours (e.g., Virtual Machines)
• Storage Used (e.g., Blob, File, Disk)
• Database Transactions
• Data Transfer (Outbound)
Purchasing and subscribing to Microsoft Azure is more than a transactional step, it’s a strategic move.
Get in touch with our team of licensing experts via [email protected] to further understand the purchasing paths, licensing options, and cost management tools, to optimize your investment.

Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.
