(public) Survey: Research Software Engineering & Generative AI

The following questions are designed to inform discussion at the March 2026 workshop, Research Software Engineering in the Age of Generative AI: Building a Community Vision. As we prepare for this workshop, we’re inviting input from the broader community to help shape the themes and priorities that will be discussed. Please consider a future five years from now, where Generative AI has continued to advance and research software remains essential to science. Please complete the survey by 1 March. All of the survey questions are optional, so feel free to skip any of them. Providing your name and email is optional. If you choose to share them, this information will be visible only to the organisers. All responses shared in the workshop or included in reports will be anonymised. If you have any questions, please contact info[at]researchsoft.org. ReSA has been supported to undertake this work as part of Schmidt Sciences grant G-25-69965, Research Software Engineering in the Age of Generative AI: Building a Community Vision. The Software Sustainability Institute, led by the University of Edinburgh, is supporting the workshop as local organiser.

At this point, open-source development itself is being DDoS'ed by LLMs and their human users.

At the risk of being a bit gross: this is the software development version of peeing in the pool. If *one* person does it, it's gross but will probably go unnoticed. However, at this point, it's like having 100 people all lined up on the side of the pool peeing into it in unison. I don't really want to swim in that, do you? And now they've started eyeing the punchbowl and watercoolers too.

A screenshot of a post on Bluesky. The text: Remi Verschelde: @akien.bsky.social Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers. If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of: fund.godotengine.org quoted below that: Adriaan: @adriaan.games Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers – especially if people don't disclose it.

edit: pls check the replies and such, I've been a bit disingenuous tbh

I've been saying this

the SWF is just kinda there but to my knowledge doesn't really do much outside of like wordpress and mastodon. and working with meta i guess.

I for one have never heard of anyone from the SWF or Mastodon reaching out to other implementations to coordinate on, say, quotes with authorization.

meanwhile on the ATProto end, there is groups like https://standard.site just to standardize long-form content.

😋 또한 주교의 면발과 함께 하소서.

비즈니스 이야기를 들었을 때, 펀딩/레버리지는 꼭 확인해보아야. 결국은 "보증" 서달라는 이야기인 경우가 꽤 있습니다. 그 빚은 누가 떠안는가? 하는 문제죠.

- SID Soundchip Interface (6581 configuration in stock, use the famous SID Soundchip with your RC setup, or use modern replacement such as ArmSID)

- Graphic OLED Interface (32x128 graphic display)

- ZX True Tone (ZXTT, for use with Ed Brindley's YM/AY soundcard so the soundchip is clocked exactly at the same frequency as the 128K )

- SAA1099P Sound chip Interface (Use the 6 channel stereo sound chip, as used in the , in your RC setup)

나한테 LLM 관련해서 문의가 자주 들어오는 주제 중 하나는 대용량 처리에 관련된 내용이다.

그 조직의 사내 기술팀에서 Context Size를 넘기는 데이터는 AI가 못받아들이니 쓰지 말라는 답변만 앵무새처럼 하고 추가 논의를 종결해버려서 고민이라는 내용이 대부분이다.

하지만 자세히 들여다보면,

대부분 자칭 AI를 한다는 사람들이, 정작 어떤 방식으로든 분할 정복을 이론이 아닌 실무에서 경험해본 적이 없어 일어나는 헤프닝이다.

이걸 해결하기 위한 전략과, 그 전략을 구현한 라이브러리와 프로토콜들은 이미 나와있다.

데이터를 분할하고, 필요에 따라선 분할된 단위를 병렬처리할 수 있고, 자기가 할 수 없는 일은 다른 것에 맡기는 것도 가능하다.

이 단계까지 경험이 닿지 않은 사람들이 많아서 문의가 나한테까지 오는건 어쩌면 나도 먹거리가 있어서 다행이라는 생각이 들지만, 한편으로는 AI 한다면서 나보다 훨씬 더 받아가는 사람들일텐데 왜 저럴까 싶은 생각도 종종 든다.

I've put together a roundup on including a podcast with Francois Beaufort and André Cipriani Bandarra of Google on the implementation in Chrome and the testing extension as well as an excellent interview by RL Nabors with Alex Nahas. You can check Francois' demos and read my thoughts on how we had a lot this for years on the web.

"With Rev. Jesse Jackson Jr.’s passing, we lose one of the dwindling number of direct links to Martin Luther King, Jr. and to the mid-20th century Civil Rights generation. ...

Rev. Jackson’s death occurring at the time as the SAVE Act looms over our democracy reminds us of the urgency of unity in fighting to reclaim the promise of America."
