"Always ask 'what if?', always 'expect the unexpected'." is one of the lessons-learned by Margaret Hamilton #ICSE2018

What can we do to get more women into SE? Hamilton: Just pay them equal wages ICSE 2018

Making existing things more complex, to create new incremental innovations that achieve small performance benefits, is easy. Finding simple ideas is hard, but where real innovation happens. —Andreas Zeller #icse2018

In this hot summer you could consider to read something COLD. Concern-Oriented Language Development (COLD): Fostering Reuse in Language Engineering. goo.gl/esxT7Y Enjoy COLD with Benoit Combemale @andwor @erwan_bousse @tdegueul JM Jezequel Sébastien Mosser Philippe Collet Tanja Mayerhofer etc.

sorry i had to

First #textbook on software language engineering! With a strong focus on application areas such as domain-specific languages, software composition, and software reverse engineering. bit.ly/2yhwKiQ @reallynotabba #SLE

One other great book «Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp» available on-line for free included the examples and the environment to run them. Give it a try. Thank you @PeterNorvig x.com/RainerJoswig/s…

Good overview of the HiFive board! hackaday.com/2017/01/05/han…

Happy birthday to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, pictured here showing that a single CD-ROM could hold enough information for 330,000 pieces of paper.

SIT vs UAT SIT: System integration testing UAT: User acceptance testing

The 51 page ABC of Software Engineering Research #TOSEM article should be mandatory reading for new software engineering PhD students. It's also a wonderful methodology reference for all software engineering researchers. doi.org/10.1145/3241743

Our "Rethinking Productivity in SE" book, that came out of the 2017 Dagstuhl seminar is soon out (Amazon says July 2019 but Apress says May ;)). Should also be available Open Access by then from here: apress.com/gp/book/978148… Edited by Thomas Zimmermann and Caitlin Sadowski

So true! :))
