This week’s podcast guest is Martin Woodward, who discusses how the benefits of open source culture still exist in a hyper-capitalist society, but tech has moved away from the idealism of early open source, what the future of software development might look like and way coders don’t necessarily have to be afraid that AI will take their jobs.
Github is a platform for software developers to collaborate, create and share projects. The service has over 150 million users globally and has been at the heart of countless software innovations. In 2018, the platform was acquired by Microsoft for $7.5bn.
Woodward is both an executive at the company and a member of the British open source advocacy group OpenUK.
