@PAvgeriou Hope you enjoyed the evening ☺️

Just arrived at the reception for the Copenhagen symposium on human centered AI for SE. It seems @danielrusso88 et al. plan to spoil us

@heather_nlp Great work @heather_nlp!

Your PhD is about the evolution of your mindset. It proceeds through personal research experience, mentorship and development of key skills. This is why PhD in STEM: - is NOT about a thesis (very few people will read it) - is NOT about finish your advisor’s project - is NOT about attending new courses - is NOT to learn how to use cool instruments (although it might be handy, it is of little help in a long run) Yes, some of it will help you get hired. BUT PhD should not be about this. ▫️ PhD is about personal development, creativity and problem solving in a highly dynamic research environment. First of all, it is about: - Becoming a highly critical and creative thinker - Learning how to think independently (against the local or global mainstream) - Learning how to “jump-start” a project and bring it to perfection - Discovering your strengths and weaknesses as a future leader - Learning from massive number of mistakes without big consequences - Learning how to accept failures and move on - Understanding the value of teamwork and collaboration - Publishing important studies and making discoveries (especially if you plan to stay in academia) ▫️ Of course, there are some “perks” that come with it: 1. Getting a good expertise in some field 2. Getting some idea about the world of academia and how things work there 3. Learning how to use fancy tools (microscopes, spectrometers, etc) 4. Learning how to write papers, etc etc But these are only bonuses. They should not be why you are pursuing PhD. ▫️ As a prospective PhD student, do NOT look for a supervisor who will be simply assigning tasks to you and tracking your project. Look for a good mentor and advisor who can help you develop YOUR leadership skills. A proper research environment and inspiration to pursue your dreams are the key ingredients. #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #phdchat

@bonotake No reason to apologies and thanks for reaching out ;-) I think it's a brilliant idea! Do you mind sending an Email at daniel.russo@cs.aau.dk? Thanks!

@danielrusso88 Excuse me for the sudden reply.

Just presented @ICSEconf the paper w. Christiaan Verwijs "A Theory of Scrum Team Effectiveness." We found that the effectiveness of Agile teams depends on 5 high-level factors. Thanks to all participants for the great comments and discussions. #ICSE2023

@AndrzejWasowski @STAFconferences @ECMFA_Conf @ItnRemaro Abstract?

Dove into the vibrant intersection of AI LLMs & Liberating Structures with a group of maestros. As we explore AI’s enigmatic persona, I’m reshaping my classes around LS, reaping fantastic feedback from students: keithmccandless.medium.com/six-maestros-i…

🎉Thrilled about the insights shared at the DIREC Software Engineering Meetup today! Proud to coordinate and present @CompSciAAU 's research. Key focus: Building a robust funding and research environment in #SoftwareEngineering. Here's to a stronger research ecosystem! 🚀

@aserebrenik @kjstol It seems consistent with their estimate of 2018 we used for this paper trying to quantify the software engineering population danielrusso.org/files/2020TSE_…

@kjstol @danielrusso88 I have just asked the company to share the details of their methodology

Evans Data Corporation: “The worldwide developer population grew by 3.1% in the last year to over 26.3 million, returning to a growth rate near pre-pandemic levels.”

@s_baltes @ICSEconf @Vegemite My first attempt was unsuccessful so far.. will try again with your tip!

To all @ICSEconf attendees: Your hotel breakfast most likely includes @Vegemite - an Australian spread usually eaten on toast with a layer of butter underneath. You either love or hate it :-) I‘d suggest using more butter than Vegemite the first time you try it.

@DominikWinterer @ICSEconf already looking forward 😅

@danielrusso88 @ICSEconf 2024 -> 2023 😉

My travel to @ICSEconf starts now. Super exited to see you all soon in Melbourne! #icse24 #icse2014

🎉 Honored to be featured as the March Innovation Leader in @UbiquityACM ! I discuss the future of work for software developers, hybrid work environments, and the impact of COVID-19 on productivity & well-being with the great @DrBushraAnjum.

@sota_omusan Hi Sota, thank you so much for your kind words! If you need any help, please feel free to reach out!

@danielrusso88 Thanks for your wonderful report on Scrum team effectiveness!! I will definitely use the theory you developed so my team functions better. Cheers!!
