Maggie Hodges' and my research is now public, where we surveyed a diverse sample of 903 @Google developers about their experiences with inclusion in software development. #Sec11" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

🏆 Best Research Paper Award! 🏆 Huge congratulations to @imYbajpai and the team, from Microsoft for their award-winning paper: "Let's Fix This Together - Conventional Debugging with GitHub Copilot." 🤖💡 Well-deserved recognition! 🎉 #VLHCC2024 #BestPaperAward

I am on the #SoftwareEngineering #Teaching Job Market! After co-creating & co-instructing two software engineering courses at CMU I am looking for teaching-focused faculty positions in SE. If you know anyone who is hiring, please let me know! Retweets welcome.

@GergelyOrosz Check out this research where we asked engineers about the difference between game development and software engineering: microsoft.com/en-us/research…

This reflection comes as I am trying to learn (and share) more on how large games are actually built. From people having built them (or building them.) As paid guest posts. Getting responses, which are mostly: "My employer probably doesn't want me to share anything in public."

Is it just me, or is the game development industry far more "secretive" than the general software engineering industry?

How did we get a Distinguished Paper for changing a button???? Come to @CaptainEmerson’s talk this afternoon and find out! #icse2024

The Google Award for Inclusion Research (AIR) is now open! Applications close on July 13, 2023. AIR provides up to $60,000 in funding for research that addresses the needs of historically marginalized people and underserved communities. research.google/outreach/air-p…

@AlexP_DownUnder @AndreasZeller Plausible paper, but lacks panache! Where are the bathroom jokes?

The societal impacts of open source and open science have been a hot topic these days. Here's a short excerpt about what we've been doing to understand how we can better support devs who are building software with the world's citizens in mind. blog.denaeford.me/2022/10/25/wha…

@baishakhir @ASE_conf Neat! Did you try to get the refactored code accepted by the original maintainers?

AI-guided refactoring 🤔!!! Read our paper "CARGO: AI-Guided Dependency Analysis for Migrating Monolithic Applications to Microservices Architecture" (arxiv.org/abs/2207.11784) that received the distinguished paper award at @ASE_conf !!

The most influential paper of 10-years-ago VISSOFT and SOFTVIS is by @CaptainEmerson and @LimeyBlack: "An Interactive Visualization for Code Smells" Congratulations!!! 🎊🥳🎊

Geez, these #ICSE2023 papers that I'm reviewing look amazing. I should have declared a blanked conflict of interest, because I'm biased to accept every one of them! Thank you all for doing such interesting work.

@ProfPaulRalph God forbid they discover something! /s

Abstract: "this paper presents an exploratory pilot study..." Me: What is this doing in a top journal? Exploratory pilot studies belong in posters, workshops and work-in-progress papers. You want to publish in a journal? Confirm something.

Working on a publication that speaks to designing or developing equitable tech? Still not sure where you want to send it? Submit to our @emsejournal special issue on "Equitable Data and Technology" -- there's still time!

I am on the job market this year! For those who are new to my Twitter account, I'm a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researcher with a focus on anti-racist and justice-oriented design methods. Here's a🧵that sums me up as a scholar:

Shout out to @elldagan on #NationalInternDay! As a Research Scientist intern, she's interviewing demographically diverse engineering teams within @Google to understand what accounts for their success.

💯 Research is leading to better practices in code review. Learn how studies can significantly reduce pushback and bias → goo.gle/3zZvIpS Continued experimentation with anonymous code review could reduce gaps in pushback faced by devs from different demographic groups.

@ProfPaulRalph If you search LinkedIn, you can find several designers working on Gmail.

What happens when programmers build apps without a product designer? Gmail. 500 settings you'll never use, but it can't send-later or pause incoming mail without using some third-party app with unknown security risks.

@vlfilkov @CACMmag Employee demographic data is extremely sensitive. Your best bet is to send a compelling proposal to research.google/outreach/air-p… -- I'm happy to provide feedback on a draft!

@CaptainEmerson @CACMmag Great article, thanks Emerson and team! Any chance we can get access to the data? Thanks!

Look what came in the mail! If you didn't this month's @CACMmag, you can download it at dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.114…

Special thanks to @asim72 @mekkaokereke and @Melonie_Parker for being supporters of this work!

@CACMmag Thanks to @rachelpotvin @CieraJaspan and @mmeckf for bringing me to Google to do this kind of work.
