Open source continues to reshape how financial institutions and software teams approach technology, as highlighted in two recent discussions from the developer community. In a video from FINOS, Nichola Hammerton, Head of Group Architecture at Deutsche Bank, makes a compelling case for why betting against open source is a bad bet. Hammerton explains that financial institutions are moving beyond building solutions from scratch, instead embracing shared open source approaches to tackle complex use cases. This shift not only optimizes financial workflows but also expands access to a broader talent pool, positioning open source banking as the new standard for efficiency across the industry.
Meanwhile, the Late Night Linux Family tackles a different but equally relevant topic in Episode 160 of Linux Dev Time. The episode explores the concept of dogfooding—whether developers should use their own software, if it is truly useful or necessary, and how it differs from conventional testing. The hosts question whether it is possible to build an application people genuinely enjoy using without dogfooding, offering listeners a thoughtful examination of development practices.
Together, these posts reflect a broader conversation about collaboration, efficiency, and quality in modern software development. Whether through shared open source solutions in finance or self-testing practices in Linux development, the themes converge on one idea: better outcomes come from engaging directly with the
