Awesome example of how reproducible dev environments with Jetify Devbox speeds up developer onboarding: "Linus demonstrated how he used Devbox from Jetify to significantly reduce the onboarding time for his students – from days to just a few hours – by setting up his computing environment in a re-runnable way."

Software and automation are essential tools in both data science and research. However, they are often overlooked in favor of hype topics and flashy ML models. This is why it's refreshing to see a growing Research Software Engineering (RSE) community in Switzerland, especially at ETH and EPFL. This week, I had the pleasure of speaking at #RSECon24, alongside Linus Gasser from EPFL. Our talk focused on the importance of creating reproducible computing environments. Linus demonstrated how he used Devbox from Jetify to significantly reduce the onboarding time for his students – from days to just a few hours – by setting up his computing environment in a re-runnable way. Special thanks go to Jaime Cardozo for the nice demo and to James Graham and Peter Hill for organizing the session.
