As you may remember, this year we organize the 4th ICCQ conference in cooperation with IEEE Computer Society and Innopolis University. What's especially interesting this year is that we had to refuse eight applications to the Program Committee (so far) because we are fully packed already. However, in previous years, we were investing a lot of time into inviting PC members (getting a lot of rejections, also due to political reasons).

Moreover, this year there are two ACM Fellows in our PC: Philip Wadler and Ranjit Jhala — this is an exceptional honor for us!

Thus, if you work in the field of program analysis, testing, programming language design, code optimization and generation, software maintenance and your work contributes to code quality — consider submitting your research papers to ICCQ'24, the deadline is the 18th of February (published in IEEE Xplore and indexed by Scopus).

"The cure for all management problems: make them (your subordinates) chase you. How do you do that? You turn yourself into a buyer making them be sellers of their results. You’ve got the resources (money), which you are ready to release if your people provide you what you need."

Before you start a new software project, hire an independent expert, who will regularly (ideally, every two weeks) review everything we programmers are doing and tell you where and how you may lose. This expert will maintain a Risk List for you. You will take necessary preemptive actions. Don’t trust us programmers. We are smart, lazy and spoiled. You will lose. — Trust. Pay. Lose. (2017)

"No matter how large the difference in skills between regular programmers and 10x programmers in the same project, they will get almost the same, or very similar, compensation. In order to get more, a programmer has to change location, company, or both. It seems very wrong!"

Dear reader of my Telegram channel,

I'm very thankful to you, for being with me this year. Your "likes" and comments are the primary motivator for me, especially when they are negative... not. Thanks to you, my online presence was increased this year: +420 followers on GitHub (+11%), +4833 subscribers on YouTube (+28%), +260 on Telegram (+6%), also a little bit on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook, but I don't care about them as much.

A quick summary of my contribution in 2023: 6500+ GitHub commits/issues/pull requests, three research papers , 50 lectures in two Universities, a few interviews, 11 new open source products released, 17 technical blog posts, ICCQ'23 conference, four patents, four political articles, and one film.

A quick summary of my failures in 2023: Elegant Objects Vol.3 is not yet published, Code Ahead Vol.2 is not yet written, PhD thesis is not yet finished. I'm committed to complete them all in 2024.

I rely on your help in 2024: stay subscribed, no matter how bad is my content, and encourage your friends to subscribe — to my GitHub, YouTube, and Telegram!

Happy New Year!

I just published a new blog post, about ChatGPT and its negative effect on the process of education of students: Defend Me Against ChatGPT. I see ChatGPT as a big threat to the education process and believe that very soon, tools that validate texts for the presence of generative AI in them will become powerful enough to defend me, a teacher, from ChatGPT.

That’s why a good customer for a software outsourcing company them is a paying customer. Not a customer with a successful project. Not a customer with a properly solved problem. Not a customer with optimized costs. Not a customer with the best possible technology utilized. Not at all. The best customer is the one that pays, pays a lot, and pays on time.

Some of you may remember the software quality award I was organizing for five years, in 2015-2020. Now it's renamed to Kaicode Open Source Festival. Every year we will invite open source projects, put together a jury, and distribute monetary awards and recognition badges among winners. Right now, we are looking for volunteers to join the jury. If you are passionate about software quality, please text me directly, we will consider.

I'm very happy to share good news: IEEE supports our ICCQ conference, for the 4th time (papers to be published in IEEE Xplore and indexed by Scopus). Due to some schedule conflicts we have to push back the event to June, though. New CFP deadline is the 18th of February. You are welcome to submit your research papers, if they are related to source code quality, static and dynamic analysis, programming language design, software maintenance, and testing. Innopolis University (Kazan, Russia) will host the event.
