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!

Table with three columns: one "other approaches", all with 0%; one "our approach", with bold, non-zero percentages; and one "improvement", showing infinite improvement in all cases.

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! 💪

Moreover, 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.

Definitions of OOP can generally be divided into two conceptual lines (how and why OOP is applied) and both together define object-oriented programming. However, hardly anyone demonstrates this holistic view when talking about OOP.

In our recently accepted IEEE Software article, we took a deep dive into the essence of object-oriented programming through a scoping review of prominent views in both, academic publications and nonacademic sources, such as industry reports and practitioner blogs.

Taking a closer look at prominent definitions of OOP, different people do not necessarily mean the same thing when they talk about it. The example with Laika, the dog, represents only one side of the coin: how OOP is applied.

There are classes and objects. Dog, for example, could be a class. Laika, the first dog in space, is an object of the Dog class. Laika has a state and can respond to messages. That’s one perspective to think of object-oriented programmig (OOP).

A summary of the two complementing perspectives on OOP. Formalist view describes what OOP is, hermeneutic view describes its benefits when applied.

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...

This article articulates many of the reasons why they’re doing that…

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.
