Open Source For You|May 2024
Code and Theory develops simple, reusable software components for domains like native mobile apps and websites to accelerate development by offering flexibility and modularity. In a candid chat with OSFY’s Yashasvini Razdan, Indumathi Venkataraman, Director of Engineering and Sunil Kalkunte, Engineering Leader and Country Head, Code and Theory, India, revealed how the company generates revenue by utilising open source components in custom project development.
"We consume and contribute to open source resources to accelerate development!"

Q: What is your focus in India with respect to open source?

A: We consume and contribute to open source resources to accelerate development and extend our support to other external projects emerging in the community. This includes developing and delivering projects that leverage open source technologies. In addition to using these resources, we are committed to giving back to the community that supports them. We have established a specific vertical dedicated to open source component building and community interaction. This involves not only internal development but also contributing to external projects, such as Google’s MediaPipe. In a 360-degree view, we intend to align with our business objectives while supporting and giving back to the open source community.

Q: What components do you build?

A: We create simple, reusable software components that can be applied in specific domain contexts. For instance, if a company is building a native mobile application or a website, we develop small, modular components that can act as accelerators in these projects. These components are designed to be freely used and contributed to by  anyone, improving their functionality. Another example could be a chart used in a dashboard for metrics.

Efficient Prompt Engineering: Getting the Right Answers

OpenAl's GPT-3 and GPT-4 are powerful tools that can generate human-like text, answer questions, and provide insights. However, the quality of these outputs depends heavily on how you frame the input, or prompt. Efficient prompt engineering ensures you get the right answers by designing inputs that guide the AI towards relevant, clear, and useful responses. Let's find out how to craft effective prompts with examples.

Analysing Linus Torvald's Critique of Docker

This article looks at Docker's security flaws, particularly its shared-kernel model, and contrasts it with traditional VMs for better isolation. It discusses Linus Torvalds' concerns, explores mitigation techniques, and proposes a roadmap for building a more secure containerisation platform using hardware-assisted virtualisation, true isolation, and a robust orchestration layer.
