JetBrains vs Qt

AI Reduces Entry-Level Hiring in Software Development

A JetBrains survey of over 15,000 developers shows 90% use AI coding agents at least weekly. A Stanford study 'Canaries in the Coal Mine' reports a 20% decline in employment for software developers aged 22-25 in the US since late 2022, while experienced developers see growth. This trend worries the author, Dr. Volker Oshege, chairman of viadee, as it threatens the future talent pipeline. He argues that AI shifts bottlenecks to review capacity and guardrails, requiring human judgment. He advocates for mixed teams, buddy systems, and continuous training to ensure the workforce of 2036.

Nuvoton Gerda IC & Qt for MCUs Deliver Premium UIs

Nuvoton Technology Corporation Japan (NTCJ) and Qt Group jointly announced on November 5, 2026, that Nuvoton's Gerda HMI controller platform is now supported as target hardware for Qt for MCUs. This combination enables rich graphics, fluid animations, and responsive touch interaction without external memory, targeting automotive and motorcycle instrument clusters, head-up displays, and home appliance panels. The collaboration leverages Gerda's large built-in RAM and texture compression to reduce memory footprint, lowering component count and system cost for high-volume production. Qt for MCUs' development environment, with QML and agentic AI skills, simplifies workflow and enables over-the-air updates. Executives from both companies highlighted the removal of the trade-off between user experience and system cost, making premium interfaces feasible on cost-efficient hardware.

• Nuvoton's Gerda HMI controller platform now supports Qt for MCUs.
