Today, I learned about the release of the "2026 International RSE Survey" (or rather the results thereof).
The team prepared a wonderful dashboard: https://rse-survey.soton.ac.uk/superset/dashboard/RSE_survey/
I yet have to digest the results before drawing conclusions. There is one, however, I will jump to: I think(!), I responded twice already. And I consider myself a professional teacher and researcher and support scientist (not necessarily in this order). But I know, that there are many, many researchers who write code and are to shy to publish (started that way myself). So, we need a lot more effort to get those to reply to gauge the impact of AI, RSE habits, etc. etc. etc.

Our paper "Future challenges for Research Software Engineering" is out. We looked into what research software engineering might look like in future and what challenges will await us. The paper is based on a community discussion during the deRSE 2025 conference.

We had a good discussion on specific competencies for applied mathematics research software engineers. Anything we forgot?

Is there an accepted best pattern for repeatedly running code until some timeout is reached?This is the pattern that we use at the moment, but putting conditions inside the while loop feels like there might be a way to put this into some kind of object that can be more easily inspected? Here's some code that we use at the moment
```r
while (not_finished(draws, n_effective) &
not_timed_out(start_time, time_limit)) {
n_samples <- new_samples(draws, n_effective)
draws <- extra_samples(
draws,
n_samples,
verbose = verbose,
one_by_one = one_by_one
)
}

I joined a new research project on #researchsoftware this month. Starting with a lit review, it is subjectively astonishing to me how few empirical studies about the user’s side/perspective are out there.
I admit, it might be very early but on the other hand, Perspectives from #OpenScience (i.e. @sabinaleonelli) suggested to consider users and disciplinary cultures parallel or even before infrastructure development.

🤩 Thanks to @archaeologyeaa for such a great conference in #Rome last week! #N4OgoesEAA24
📊 #NFDI4Objects was present at several sessions on #3D-Data within #Archaeology, #ResearchDataManagement and #ResearchSoftwareEngineering for archaeological sciences.
🗣️ Many thanks to our speakers @fthierygeo, Fabian Fricke, Julian Hollaender, Karsten Tolle, Moritz Menenga, Fabian Riebschläger and Carina Knappe for their fascinating insights on different #tools and #services developed by NFDI4Objects.

Welcome to Mastodon @SoftwareSaved!
The Software Sustainably Institute promotes and fosters better open digital infrastructure for #science. Their Fellowship program is awesome and I had the privilege of being accepted as a Fellow in 2020 (not the best time but they made it work).
Definitely worth a follow if your interests are in #OpenSource #OpenScience #Reproducibility #ResearchSoftwareEngineering etc

My #PhD program allows me to spend up to 6 months abroad to work on anything I'd like (with my supervisors approval).
I'd like to spend them in the #openscience and #researchsoftwareengineering fields. If anyone has some ideas of whom I could contact I'd be grateful.

New #rstats blog post: "Code Smell: Error Handling Eclipse"
https://www.njtierney.com/post/2023/12/06/long-errors-smell/
Where I discuss a code smell I've found lately, too much input error handling inside a function totally eclipses the intent of the function.
