O’Reilly finds 3,600% increase in interest in generative AI in last year

It’s no surprise that people have grown more interested in AI over the last year. The technology insights company O’Reilly has just published its annual trends report, in which it revealed just how much more interest people have these days.

According to the findings, interest in GPT and generative AI has grown 3,600% year over year. Interest in generative models grew 900%, transformers grew 325%, and natural language processing grew 195%.

The company also found that there’s been a growing interest in prompt engineering, which is a topic that hadn’t been tracked in 2022. It’s now considered to also be “a significant area of interest, garnering nearly the same level of attention as transformers.”

Moving beyond AI, security is another area that really increased in interest, particularly among developers. Network security, which is the most widely used of the topics studied, grew 5% in interest. Governance also saw a 22% increase in interest. 

There was also a 42% increase in application security topics, with DevSecOps seeing the highest increase at 30%. According to O’Reilly, this is an indication that developers are shifting towards incorporating security throughout the development process. 

Among programming languages, C++ saw a 10% increase in interest, which O’Reilly attributes to the increased interest in AI, and Rust saw a 7.8% increase. 

And finally, the report also found that developers are trying to improve “soft skills,” such as project communications (23% growth), professional development (22%), and project management (13%).

“This year marks a rare and genuinely disruptive time for the industry, as the emergence of generative AI promises important changes for businesses and individuals alike,” said Mike Loukides, vice president of emerging technology content at O’Reilly. “Efficiency gains from AI do not, however, replace expertise. Our data signals a shift for programming as we know it, with consequences for skills, job prospects, and IT management. Now more than ever, upskilling will become essential to prepare for the new innovations in the coming year.”

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice. Image Source In a similar vein, web development and design work together to create websites. Let’s examine the major responsibilities and distinctions between web developers and web designers. Let’s get going, shall we? What Does a Web Designer Do?

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
