Streaming Code and Speed: Internet's Role in Modern U.S. Software Development
Internet speed is essential for modern software development and goes beyond simply enabling quick downloads in today's hyperconnected environment. To develop, test, and release software at scale, U.S. developers depend on fast, dependable internet for everything from cloud-based coding environments to real-time collaboration and continuous deployment. Connectivity is more important than ever as remote work and international teams become more commonplace. Software development in the modern day no longer occurs in a vacuum. These days, developers collaborate using Slack, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams, work on cloud platforms, and use CI/CD pipelines hosted on services. To sustain efficient workflows, these procedures require high-speed, low-latency connections in addition to internet access. Releases can be delayed and productivity derailed by a slow code sync or a lagging video call. Developer education and experimentation are significantly impacted by i...
