Commentary: If you're looking for a software/IT job, find out why you might be better off searching outside tech. Also, learn what these hiring trends mean for open source.

Image: nesharm, Getty Images/iStockPhotos

Remember when "software was going to eat the world"? Well, it happened. According to Burning Glass data analyzed by Dice, if you want a software job in 2020, your best bet is to look outside the technology industry. Why? Because while two tech companies top the list in terms of hiring the most software developers, the entirety of the remaining top 10 goes to companies in the Financial Services, Defense, or Professional Services.

Think that's just a blip? It's not. As laid out in a Burning Glass report in late 2019, 89% of all tech job postings are listed by non-tech companies. In other words, software has never been more important, even if software companies may not be. Software is just part of what every company now does.

SEE:How to build a successful developer career (free PDF)(TechRepublic)

It's always been true that most software was written for use, not sale. Companies might buy its ERP software from SAP and office productivity software from Microsoft, but they were writing all sorts of software to manage their supply chain, take care of employees, and more. What wasn't true then, but is definitely true now, is just how much of that software spend is now focused on company-defining initiatives, rather than back-office software meant to keep the lights on.

Small wonder, then, that in the past year companies have posted nearly one million jobs in the US, according to the Burning Glass data, which scours job postings. That number is expected to increase by more than 30% over the next few years, with non-tech IT jobs set to boom at a 50% faster clip than IT jobs within tech. As for who is hiring, though tech companies top the list (arguably one of them isn't really a tech company), the rest of the top 10 are decidedly non-tech.

Digging into the Burning Glass report, and moving beyond software developer jobs, specifically, and into the broader category of IT, generally, Professional Services, Manufacturing, and Financial Services account for roughly half of all IT openings outside tech. Even industries where there are relatively few IT jobs, the percentage of tech jobs is quite high. For example, Utilities accounts for a mere 1% of all non-tech IT jobs, but IT jobs account for 35% of all job postings in that industry.

And that percentage of non-tech tech jobs? It's growing, as Burning Glass data shows (Figure A).

Software isn't eating the world. It already ate the world.

One area of software that we aren't yet seeing non-tech companies take over is open source. IBM president Jim Whitehurst (former Red Hat CEO) has called on enterprises to contribute back since the late 2000s: "Ultimately, for open source to provide value to all of our customers worldwide, we need to get our customers not only as users of open source products but truly engaged in open source and taking part in the development community."

SEE:How to become an effective software development manager and team leader: Tips and advice from Drupal founder Dries Buytaert(TechRepublic)

While enterprises haven't taken up the call in earnest, we're seeing a lot more activity than in 2008 when Whitehurst made that plea, and even a lot more than 2018. For example, Capital One (one of the top-10 companies for developer job postings) is years into a well-orchestrated open source strategy, with a range of open source projects that it has released or to which it contributes.

Nor is it alone in this. Some of the industry's most popular software was released by enterprise users of software, rather than vendors of software. For example, Lyft is responsible for Envoy, Netflix (among several examples) released Spinnaker, LinkedIn open sourced Apache Kafka, and more. We have a ways to go before we see the volume and impact of user-driven open source software, but it's coming, with these companies leading the way.

All of which means that software--open source and otherwise--should get better. Why? Because software is better when written by those who actually use it, rather than by those who sell it. The golden age of software is coming.

Trend Micro and Snyk Significantly Expand Partnership with Technology Collaboration to Solve Open Source Development Risks - PRNewswire

By Maneesh Sharma

Open source is all-pervasive in the software universe. Almost every organization using software to enhance digital transformation or business agility is consuming open source in some way. In fact, today 99% of all software projects are created using open source. Organizations whose software stack is built on open-source have been able to quickly pivot and recalibrate to meet the needs of the current environment because of the agility that open-source offers.

The adoption of open source components increases, so can security risks for both developers and security teams. For organizations on a digital transformation journey, security must be a top priority. With so much of their code being created and consumed in a collaborative manner, the need to ensure security is even more critical for them. The average software project depends on over 200 other components. Therefore, a safe and healthy open source community isnt just good for open source software, but it also benefits the millions of businesses that depend on it.

A key aspect of making security a collective responsibility is that developers are empowered to continually check for vulnerabilities as part of the development and testing phase. This approach is known as shift-left. By shifting security left, developers are able to uncover and fix vulnerabilities in the early stages of the software development lifecycle, so these are rooted out before the code is deployed to production.

Open source is fundamentally more securable than proprietary code because of this very collaborative nature of how it is built there are more experts involved in identifying and remedying security issues in the code. But security research is a specialist skill and the supply for researchers far outweighs the demand, so much so that security researchers are on average outnumbered 500:1 when compared to developers. This is where the community can help by rapidly identifying and disclosing vulnerabilities in code.

Open source development platforms are fast evolving to support this collaborative approach to building secure code, and provide tools to expand security research capabilities. From automating detection and remediation, to tracking emerging security vulnerabilities, these platforms are focused on helping developers identify threats and fix vulnerabilities before code enters in the production cycle.

Many forward-thinking enterprises are turning to open source to innovate at speed. The open source promise is one where security is an inextricable part of the entire product lifecycle, and not handled in isolation. In turn, businesses that use and build with open source must not only encourage secure practices across the development lifecycle, but they should also think about committing resources back to the wider open source community so we can create a more secure digital world that benefits everyone.

Open source security: Securing the worlds code, together - ETCIO.com

The automobile is one of the most exciting frontiers in our connected lives today. Infotainment systems, real-time maps, and advanced driver assistance systems are already commonplace in newer vehicles, but it is still relatively early days for the fully connected car. The exhilarating vision of the driving experience of the near future includes augmented reality dashboards, progressively more autonomous operations, and increased integration with the outside world, from interacting with smart home devices to automatically finding parking spots nearby.

Were headed towards a time when every car will become connected. IDC forecasts worldwide shipments of connected cars vehicles that have internet access and onboard modems to communicate with external systems to reach 76.3 million by 2023, a nearly 50% increase over 2019.

For the notion of a connected car to fully realize its potential, however, the many distributed players in this field vehicle manufacturers, sensor providers, infotainment and app vendors, cloud providers, telcos, security vendors, and more must join hands to collaborate in ways that havent always come naturally to the automotive industry.

Traditionally, technology initiatives in the automotive industry have tended to be highly fragmented, with car makers favoring proprietary technology and in-house development to retain as much competitive advantage as possible. But that approach is quickly becoming obsolete in the new connected car era. We now find ourselves in an environment that involves a far more complex set of software and hardware systems to interoperate in a proper manner that satisfies the stringent road safety requirements of today.

Fortunately, a viable way forward has started to emerge. What the new connected landscape needs is a heterogeneous ecosystem of several different parties each an expert in their own niche working together to advance common goals in connectivity. Such cross-industry coalitions foster a culture of cooperation and define common standards aimed at accelerating the development and adoption of new connected car technologies.

In recent years, we have seen some key coalitions form in the field to collaboratively advance the car of the future. These include the Linux Foundations ELISA (Enabling Linux In Safety Applications) project that brings together automotive OEMs and chip manufacturers to develop standards around open-source safety-critical systems, the connected vehicles initiative at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Connected Car Working Group at the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA).

As a result, Linux and open source software in general has become the go-to platform for driving connected car innovation. This has allowed more experts to contribute to the advances and has enabled auto makers to harness the superior economics, faster software cycles, and more reliable codebases of open source.

For instance, Subaru experienced the power of open source for the connected car firsthand when it set out to produce an infotainment system that would surprise and impress customers accustomed to the brands utilitarian image.

Using an open-source software stack, Subaru was able to start development with a codebase that was already 70% to a production-ready project, avoiding the need to build everything from scratch, and significantly reduce the launch cycle for its new Starlink infotainment platform in 2020 Outback and Legacy models.

Then theres data collection. Systems in connected cars collect vast amounts of data, which inform the driver about everything from when they should change the oil to the location of the nearest coffee shop. But this data also can be used to gather insights for improving driver safety and the driving experience and to formulate new products and services. When these datasets are openly shared as anonymized bundles of raw information, engineers from different companies are able to collaboratively solve problems relevant to the entire connected car ecosystem and help standardize solutions that benefit everybody.

Theres yet more for the argument in favor of collaboration and open source to grease the wheels of the connected car movement. It attracts contributions from the best and brightest developers from around the world, for whom using open source components in all their work has become as natural as power steering.

So how can companies foster unified, open platforms for the connected car?

One way is to enthusiastically support and participate in cross-industry coalitions. This work is important because the standards that result from these groups provide the common ground for companies to build, certify, and deploy their solutions. Another benefit is that it gives government agencies the concrete processes and quantitative measure to fairly and efficiently regulate the technology.

They should encourage as many of their people as possible to contribute code to open-source initiatives such as the Autoware Foundation so that the quality can continually be improved. And automotive OEMs need to double down on sharing field data that helps data scientists understand and recommend the broader trends around which platforms should be defined.

A unified software platform for the connected car is surely within reach if the collegial spirit of open source catches on in the automobile industry.

China is looking to build a domestic alternative to open source software development platform GitHub, according to a TechCrunch report.

To do this, the Chinese government is turning towards old and (semi-)forgotten platform: Gitee.

A recent report from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), revealed aims to turn Gitee into an independent, open-source code hosting platform for China. The project, according to the report, will be completed by a consortium spearheaded by Open Source China.

At the time of writing, Gitee has more than 10 million open-source repositories and supports north of five million developers. To put this into perspective, Microsoft-owned GitHub holds more than 100 million repositories and serves more than 30 million developers.

But the Chinese, according to TechCrunch, have no other choice; the ongoing trade war with the US is forcing the country to rely more heavily on domestic resources. Recent bans and other roadblocks the US has put in place have forced Chinese companies to minimize their reliance on western technology.

Mobile giant Huawei, which has been at the centre of the ongoing conflict, understands this best.

If China does not have its own open-source community to maintain and manage source codes, our domestic software industry will be very vulnerable to uncontrollable factors, said Huawei executive Wang Chenglu at an event last August.
