Description

公家尊裕 (GitHub) ジェイソン・ワーナー (GitHub) 榊原彰彰 (Microsoft Japan)

10年前の2008年4月10日、GitHubは正式にサービスを始めました。当時の目的はとてもシンプルで、開発者をつなげ、Gitのプロジェクトでコラボレーションできるようにすることでした。この10年間で、ソフトウェア開発の現場が大きな変化を遂げるとともに、私達のサービスも開発プラットフォームとして進化しました。本セッションでは、GitHubのシニアバイス・プレジデントであるジェイソン・ワーナーが、ソフトウェア開発のこれまでの10年、そしてこれからの10年について考察します。

A

Key note:, the future of software development.

A

Welcome to satellite tokyo, 2018.

A

We plan to invite many guests here over the next two days.

A

And showcase an array of useful information.

A

Github was launched in 2008.

A

So it's been ten years now.

A

the github service,, which has gained your support, has reached its 10-year milestone..

A

I would like to thank every one of you.

A

Github, as a company.

A

Values, collaboration and remote working,.

A

And the work environment of our employees.

A

65% of our employees work remotely as of now.

A

Three years, ago, github made an important decision.

A

The key decision was to establish offices.

A

In strategic regions outside of the us.

A

And the first strategic region we chose.

A

Was here tokyo.

A

We hired japanese speakers in our tokyo office.

A

To be closer to you.

A

By listening to what you tell us,,.

A

We learned a lot over the last 3 years.

A

Github will leverage what we learned.

A

To repay you, by creating services that will help you build your future.

A

We will increase our staff and resources.

A

And enhance the quality of our services,.

A

So we can contribute to the future of software. Development.-.

A

Now,, let's see how much we have grown over the last decade.

A

The keyword for github is social coding,.

A

Which means that we aim to be used.

A

By as many people as possible.

A

Here are the latest numbers.

A

28 million developers are using github now.

A

It's not that we only have a huge number of registered users.

A

We can see that everyone is using github for various projects.

A

Therr atre over 85 million repositories.

A

We are very proud of these numbers.. Numerous projects were launched over the last ten years,.

A

Including some innovative products.

A

We believe this was made possible.

A

By the real capability of the developers.

A

Utilizing our service around the globe.

A

Speaking of global,.

A

Let's see how japan has done since we set up the office 3 years, ago.

A

So we opened the office 3 years ago to work closer to you.

A

Due to this and other factors,.

A

The number of github users in japan.

A

Grew by 250% compared with 3 years, ago.

A

Next is the number of pull requests.

A

some may question why we talk about pull request, numbers,.

A

But they have grown by 550%.

A

Furthermore, the number of engineers and developers involved in open-source projects.

A

Has grown by nearly 80%.

A

Aside from these numbers,, let's take a look at today's event.

A

We held constellation tokyo last year.

A

With 200 participants.

A

This year, satellite spans two days.

A

And 800 clients have joined to share information with us.

A

We announced in mid-may that we will be hosting this satellite event.

A

With 800 guests.

A

in just two days,, all the 800 slots were filled,.

A

With many people on the waiting, list.

A

We are very grateful for the level of interest from so many developers.

A

The two days of this event.

A

Focuses on what is happening on the front line of development..

A

When I wondered who I should ask to take our key note, speech,.

A

I thought someone at github who is head of technology.

A

Would be an excellent choice.

A

Here is somebody who can explain to you what's happening in development right, now.

A

Github senior vice president of technology.

A

Jason warner.: please welcome him with a round of applause.

B

B

(Jason warner): this is margaret hamilton,, an mit researcher who led the apollo 11..

B

That stack of books is a source code.

B

It took to power the apollo 11..

B

It's practically impossible to imagine what software development was like in her day.

B

Every line of code in that stack of books was written by hand..

B

It was transferred to punch cards and fed into a machine.

B

The bugging was something you did in your mind, and version control, mended, a filing cabinet.

B

She herself was the compiler..

B

We've come a long way since then.

B

computer science is one of the most sought-after courses in academia.

B

Developers themselves are one of the most in-demand specialists in the world, and the code. You all write powers. Nearly everything on earth, now.

B

It's never been more tools at your disposal,.

B

And it's never been easier to be a software developer.

B

In fact,, it's never been a better time to be a software developer.

B

This really is the golden age for people like us.

B

Today,, being a software developer means solving the world's biggest problems--, whether it's machine learning,, the internet of things,, cybersecurity, crypto,,.

B

Or just the core internet cloud, computing.

B

We're literally building the future with your code.

B

That also means that life of a developer has never been more complex.

B

No matter what kind of developer you are,.

B

You know what I am talking about.

B

for starters,. The code itself is complex.

B

In 2012, wired estimated that the average car.

B

Runs on over 100 million lines of code.

B

And that was long before they started driving themselves.

B

Next, the complexity of tools.

B

≫From end-to-end,, the entire toolchain, with frameworks, languages, getting code to production,, has never been more complex.

B

Kleiner perkins found in a 2017 report.

B

That the average developer has over a thousand cloud services.

B

To choose from every day.

B

Finally,, the never-ending learning curve in our industry.

B

Is at an all-time record high pace.

B

New tools, new frameworks, new languages,, new practices,, new clouds,, new everything--.

B

They never stop competing for your attention, and we never stopped evolving..

B

Keeping up is no simple, task.

B

Github was founded 10 years ago. This year.

B

Back then, software was at a simpler time.

B

Amazon, the cloud that dominates the fortune 500,.

B

Was nothing more than a glorified online storage engine.

B

Sas providers like dropbox and salesforce were just beginning.

B

To make names for themselves, and even programming languages that developers can't live with in 2018,, they didn't even exist.

B

So back then, github's core feature.

B

A simple,, reliable, version-control system accessible via the web,.

B

Was enough to change everything for developers, particularly,, open-source developers.

B

But that version-control system grew into something else.

B

It grew into a community,, and then we witnessed something incredible.

B

First,, as developers started, connecting with each other,.

B

They started working on larger,, harder, and more complex problems. Themselves.

B

Open source took off.

B

now,, open source dominates. Software development.-.

B

As problems are solved,, they became valuable assets to developers around the world..

B

Abstractions became the key game in which developers found leverage in the modern world.

B

By organizing developers worldwide into a single, connected community,.

B

Github is organizing insight at a scale that simply has never been possible. Before.

B

We're making it accessible to everyone.

B

And more and more, we're seeing the power to be found by connecting everything,, not just people,.

B

But data, tools,, partners, and ecosystems.

B

This connection, the level of connection between all of those.

B

Generates an enormous amount of data, and with data comes insights, and with insights, become capabilities.

B

The more developer can harness the power of this connection,.

B

The more they can focus on doing what they do best and what they love,.

B

Which is building software., and this is what github was found. On.

B

Complexity, never rests.

B

development is constantly getting more complicated,.

B

Requiring ever newer tools and ever newer specialized skills.

B

Software development is a bit of a paradox: today-- the barrier to entry has never been lower,, and yet it's harder to get your code to production.

B

The culprit of this is disjoint workflows.

B

Every decision a developer needs to make is a sequence in chain.

B

There are hundreds of decisions for every discrete action.

B

A developer is going to take..

B

This requires a developer's full attention, and that in countless details to an equation., there are hundreds of these decisions. Every day.

B

And as you invest more time in these decisions,, this brings on its own challenge..

B

Once the time has been spent to establish a workflow or an end-to-end process,.

B

You feel trapped.

B

In fact,, the gradual ramp that used to characterize.

B

A developer's path to mastery, is now a series of discrete smaller functions.

B

It is very much a two steps: forward, one step, back.

B

Github aims to make this a linear curve.

B

Throughout its entire history., we want to make it so that you will grow over time. Easily.

B

As an example,, this is the landscape, or what it looks. Like,.

B

For the world's millions of cloud developers.

B

This is freedom of choice,, but this is a little intimidating.

B

In fact, developers have so many choices these days.

B

That it's becoming counterproductive.

B

there simply isn't enough time in the day to evaluate,.

B

Let alone understand and master, everything. That's available.

B

It is no longer practical to navigate this landscape unassisted,.

B

Without compromising your creative energy to do your jobs.

B

A decade ago, we transformed part of that workflow.

B

The pull request changed the world..

B

It was a simple solution to a complex problem.

B

But the complexities that lie beyond the codeface, pose a greater challenge to developers. Today.

B

≫From end-to-end, building a workflow as flexible, efficient, and reliable.

B

Is a major challenge.

B

to make matters? Worse, developers are often presented with a false choice:, either use prebuilt workflows-- that trade flexibility for simplicity-- or build one from scratch, gaining both freedom of choice.

B

And all the headaches that come with it.

B

But this is what github was founded on originally-- to turn complexity into capability.

B

We spent 10 years building a platform that makes this possible.

B

And no matter what software brings us in the next decade,.

B

We'll keep supporting you. we're here with you from the first pull request.

B

To the entire software development life cycle,.

B

All the way to production and to whatever lies beyond.

B

We don't think those extremes serve you,, so we're presenting a third option.

B

we're not trying to build a self-contained solution that does everything.. We don't believe we know what's best for you.

B

Nor are we leaving you to fend for yourselves and build a custom solution.

B

instead, we're providing an underlying substrate.

B

That makes it easy to connect your favorite tools.

B

The result is a freedom of choice and ongoing access to the latest innovations,.

B

But with the stability of a prebuilt solution.

B

Although the software development life cycle is bigger than code itself,,.

B

Code remains the most natural inflection point.

B

It's natural that this next phase of moving into production.

B

Is led by github.

B

And frankly, this can't arrive fast, enough.

B

In the coming years,, the very experience of software development.

B

Will change again.

B

And that's why we're here to serve you, the developers around the world.?

B

We want to make it easier for you in this shifting landscape.

B

To focus on what you love-- to code and building software,.

B

Seeing it run live, and caring for your users.

B

We do this by distilling the collective expertise.

B

Of all the other millions of developers around the world and the ecosystem of partners, that's growing every day across every domain, into an accessible resource.

B

Like wikipedia,, the insights on github's global community.

B

Are self-curated and kept up to date, organically by its user base.

B

And this is the power of community-- staying connected as times change.

B

This is what github brings.

B

So now is the time for github to make a large-scale development.

B

Simpler, clearer, and more effective.

B

We all know that new styles of development,.

B

New products or new technology enters the market. Every year.

B

Ar, vr, blockchain, ai, crypto,, that's just to name of few.

B

What will software development look like in the future?.

B

No one really,, honestly knows.

B

But we're dedicated to making sure that you're equipt to do it well.

B

We'll keep you focused on solving problems that matter to you, most.

B

Not wrangling tools,, not editing, config files.

B

We want to make it so that you can tackle a complexity.

B

To get back to the code.

B

So, as I said at the start of this talk,, it's never been a better time to be a developer., we're surrounded by incredibly interesting problems.

B

That need talented people, people like you,.

B

People like all of the entire github userbase out there.

B

There're, more tools,, more frameworks,, more languages.

B

And a larger community to draw from.

B

and at github, we're dedicated to serving all of you.

B

By building a platform that gets you back to code.

B

After all,, that's what github was founded on in the first place-- to turn software development complexity into capability,.

B

To make the impossible possible and to make the hard simple.

B

Last week, I think you heard some interesting news from us.

B

We announced that microsoft has agreed to acquire github.

B

We are very excited about this news.

B

And to help us celebrate here, in japan, we have akira, the cto of microsoft to japan to join us on stage.

B

(Jason) akira?.

C

(Akira) hi! thank you!.

B

(Jason) thank you!.

C

C

Hi, all the people who love sharing development, blueprints!.

C

I'm sakakibara from microsoft japan..

C

Thank you for having me.

C

I'd first like to explain microsoft's view of the world.

C

In our view of the world up, ahead,.

C

Intelligent cloud and intelligent edge are the keywords.

C

Computing power will reside everywhere in the world.

C

And the world will become a computer., all industries will become software industries.

C

Who will drive change in such a world?.

C

We believe it will be developers like you.

C

When microsoft was founded in 1975,,.

C

Our first product was basic interpreter.

C

Microsoft has walked side-by-side with developers from the start.

C

Our mission now.

C

Is to empower every person and organization in the world.

C

To achieve more things.

C

Microsoft has decided.

C

To support developers like you,, together with partners who share our values.

C

Github allows all developers to achieve more.

C

It's like a house for developers.

C

We would like to support that endeavour.

C

I always mention this at conferences—.

C

Microsoft is changing.

C

We're not the microsoft from your fathers' generation.

C

But words are not enough to gain trust.

C

There are people who still hate microsoft.

C

We are not just asking you to trust us through words.

C

We will show you, through our actions.

C

With linkedin and minecraft,.

C

We've respected their businesses' autonomy.

C

We intend to maintain our principle.

C

This time as well.

C

We will respect github's autonomy.

C

To let all developers continue to use github functions, freely,.

C

And save their source codes.

C

Without any concerns.

C

This is our current mission.

C

That is our commitment.

C

Please watch our actions.

C

I mentioned microsoft's mission to empower every person and organization in the world to achieve more things.

C

We use the word "empower.".

C

"To empower all developers".

C

This is our ultimate goal.

C

We'll support all languages,, all operating systems,, all cloud technologies, and all devices.

C

Using github,, together with developers like you,.

C

We would like to create the future.

C

That was the message I wanted to deliver to you. Today.

C

I was not expecting until recently.

C

That I would be speaking to you on this stage.

C

I am very excited.

C

With github and microsoft, working close together,.

C

I believe we can achieve much more.

C

Thank you for your attention.
