These days, Node.js is under the hood of everything from the web, the Internet of Things and desktop applications to microservice architectures. Node’s 15 million-plus downloads per month, and more than a billion package downloads per week, render it the world’s biggest open source platform.

On this episode of The New Stack Makers, we get to know Mark Hinkle, recently named the new Executive Director of the Node.js Foundation. Or, as Hinkle described it, “I’ve taken the mask of the Dread Pirate Roberts of the Node.js Foundation — a tongue-in-cheek way of saying I am here to help ensure that Node.js continues to continue to be a healthy, growing ecosystem long after I am long gone."

By now, even most large organizations have realized the benefits that accrue with using open source software—the collective hive mind that fixes bugs and develops new features at a faster pace than any commercial software company could match. Yet, companies in highly regulated industries, such as the banking industry, face considerable regulatory hurdles in using open source software. In this New Stack Makers interview, Jared Smith, director of Open Source Community Outreach at Capital One, talks about how Capital One worked through these challenges to enjoy the befits of open source.

When it comes to scientific computing, few names are more well known than Stephen Wolfram. He was the creator of the Mathematica, a program that researchers have been using for decades to aid in their computations. Later Wolfram expanded Mathematica into a full multi-paradigm programming language, called Wolfram Language. The company also packaged many of the Mathematica formulas, and a lot of outside data, into a cloud-based service and API. So at SXSW, we spoke with Wolfram about how to use this new cloud service to add computational intelligence into your own programs.

Whether you’re applying for a job at Google, or you’re just trying to understand where you stack up as an engineer, it can be difficult for coders to assess their own skills and abilities. In this episode of The New Stack Makers podcast, we spoke to Tigran Sloyan, Co-Founder and CEO of CodeFights, a startup that looks to help users test their skills in Hackathon style competitions.

On this episode of The New Stack Makers, we spoke with SUSE Product Manager Andreas Jaeger, and Sriram Subramanian, CloudDon founder and Principal Analyst. SUSE recently joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, having announced this at CloudNativeCon/KubeCon EU 2017. Jaeger notes in the conversation that SUSE believes Kubernetes is, "The way of the future," that has led to SUSE offering a Kubernetes images based on Linux Enterprise Server in the SUSE OpenStack Cloud 7 package.
