Hi Everyone!

I’m excited to share that I just had a paper accepted in ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology (TOSEM) co-authored with @mastorey , where we present a grounded theory, rooted in cognitive science, of the developer’s cognitive experience of troubleshooting and overcoming confusion.

On the spectrum and working in IT?
We think that especially in IT, research is still too often done *about* you rather than *with* you.
We want to understand what matters to you in your IT jobs, what interests you and what moves you. That’s why we’re looking for participants for an interview as part of a participatory study.

Auf dem Spektrum und in der IT?

Wir finden: Gerade in der IT wird leider noch zu oft *über* euch geforscht statt *mit* euch.
Wir wollen wissen, was euch in euren IT-Jobs interessiert und bewegt. Dafür suchen wir Teilnehmende für ein Interview im Rahmen einer partizipativen Studie.

400 people w/ doctorates read the same research abstract where the lead authors name was either male or female. Participants felt the discovery in the abstract was more important when the author was male & spent more time reading it (114 sec for male authored paper; 98 sec for female authored paper). https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimelsesser/2025/04/24/men-get-more-patent-credit-than-women-even-for-the-same-idea/

Men Get More Patent Credit Than Women, Even For The Same Idea

A new study finds that scientific papers authored by women are cited less often in patented inventions than those by men. Here's the reason and why it matters.

🎧 Fun fact: Over 5 million podcasts exist — but what role could they play in software engineering research? We’re studying how SE researchers (Cc @seresearchers) engage with podcasts and how they might serve as a resource for empirical research.

However, since hardly anyone demonstrates this holistic view when talking about OOP, and differing opinions exist within the two conceptual lines regarding the importance of each component, we have formulated a few recommendations for researchers, educators, and practitioners to move from object disorientation to object orientation.
