"Threats to validity" sections in papers are not always that insightful...

What about trying something else?

We discuss a detailed proposal in "Communicating Study Design Trade-offs in Software Engineering", to appear in the new TOSEM "Future of Software Engineering Track".

Wondering what motivates people to contribute software development blogs and tutorials?

We interviewed 26 volunteer contributors for insights and analyze five motivations our informants had for contributing documentation, including to overcome issues they had faced with documentation and to capture their own learning.

Q for my CS/SE academic colleagues: does your department have an undergrad course devoted to software design/software architecture? If so, I'd be grateful if you could post a link to its site or syllabus as a reply to this toot. #nwit

At #CHI2023, @mnassif presenting his PhD work "A Field Study of Developer Documentation Format".

We synthesized five #documentation presentation guidelines and used our Casdoc documentation generator to evaluate the impact of these guidelines in a #FieldStudy with 326 participants who used 126 documents over several months.
