How has our field’s understanding of validity in empirical SE research changed over the past decade? 🤔 Our paper on this topic, with @janetsiegmund.bsky.social, @svenapel.bsky.social, and @norbertsiegmund.bsky.social was accepted at ICSE 2026. Preprint: sws.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/wp-content/u...

Am Wochenende durfte ich unsere Forschung auf dem #Kosmos vorstellen. Ich bin begeistert, dass so viele sich für #Programmieren und #Neurodiversität interessieren. Danke an alle vor Ort und die #TUC! @janetsiegmund.bsky.social @svenapel.bsky.social @schanlin.bsky.social @yifan00.bsky.social

Occasionally, I get a reviewer complaining, “You don’t compare against any other approach. So how can we know you’re better?” So I found a simple way to still add the "bold number column" that apparently everybody wants these days.

Been having a splendid time at #ICSE2025, where I presented our paper on "programmer's block", joint work with @norbertsiegmund.bsky.social, @janetsiegmund.bsky.social. Interested in learning how problem's from software developers compare to writer's block? Check out the paper → rdcu.be/ektLk

*our journal article, of course

On my way to Ottawa for #ICSE2025. I will be presenting our paper on Programming Language Learning Transfer on Monday at CSEE&T, and on Wednesday, I am presenting my journal article on Programmer's Block at the main conference. Looking forward to seeing you there :D

Today @aserebrenik.bsky.social delivered a very enlightening keynote talk at #CHASE25 about the impacts of AI on Software Development Diversity & Inclusion (SDDI). Provocative and insightful, it prompted a deep reflection on the importance of supporting SDDI research efforts now more than ever! 💪

What is the essence object-oriented programming? It depends on whom you ask. The long answer is available in the preprint of our recently accepted paper: www.computer.org/csdl/magazin... Marvin Wyrich, Johannes C. Hofmeister, @svenapel.bsky.social , and I dared to go down this rabbit hole.

Debugging performance bugs is a maze of complexity! We used VR to uncover how developers reason about performance bugs, revealing structured debugging episodes... To be presented at FSE'25, a preprint is available: www.se.cs.uni-saarland.de/publications...

During the last six months there’s been a substantial increase in academics approaching me to ask about leaving #academia… This article articulates many of the reasons why they’re doing that…

➡️ Our insights: 💡Humans’ perceptions differ widely, thus aggregating human annotations is not reliable. (2/4)

Understanding aggressiveness on the Linux Kernel Mailing List: Why can’t humans agree on what makes an e-mail aggressive? Check out our recently published paper with Niklas Schneider, Angelika Schmid, @svenapel.bsky.social, and @janetsiegmund.bsky.social: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

It is so great to see artifact evaluation as a peer review method for research artifacts to slowly make its way into other fields. We need to check not only the words but the experiments themselves to build reliable science.

Hello, @icseconf.bsky.social community! As part of our EDI 2025 initiatives, we’re seeking a passionate co-chair for DisabiliTEA@ICSE, a coffee-break networking event bringing together people with disabilities. Interested? Please reach out to me. ☕️

✨Exciting news! Dominik Gorgosch, @norbertsiegmund.bsky.social, Janet Siegmund and my paper '"Ok Pal, We Have to Code That Now": Interaction Patterns of Programming Beginners with a Conversational' Chatbot has been accepted in EMSE Journal! Ever wondered how beginners use AI to learn programming?⬇︎︎
