Open source continues to reshape how financial institutions and software teams approach innovation, efficiency, and collaboration. In a recent video from FINOS, Nichola Hammerton, Head of Group Architecture at Deutsche Bank, makes a compelling case for why betting against open source is a losing proposition. She explains how banks are moving away from building every solution from scratch, instead embracing shared open source frameworks to tackle complex use cases. This shift not only streamlines financial workflows but also widens access to a broader talent pool, positioning open source banking as the new standard for operational efficiency.
Meanwhile, the latest episode of Linux Dev Time, Episode 160 from The Late Night Linux Family, dives into the practice of "dogfooding"—using your own software before releasing it. The hosts explore whether it is genuinely useful or simply necessary, and whether developers can build applications people love without relying on it. They also unpack the subtle but important differences between dogfooding and conventional testing, offering listeners a thoughtful look at how internal usage shapes product quality.
Together, these posts highlight two sides of the same open source coin: strategic adoption at enterprise scale and the hands-on development practices that keep projects healthy. Whether it is a major bank rethinking its architecture or a podcast crew debating internal testing, the message is
