真实生活与真实生活:软件开发人员如何通过Vlogs分享他们的日常生活

Reel Life vs. Real Life: How Software Developers Share Their Daily Life through Vlogs

Souti Chattopadhyay, Thomas Zimmermann, Denae Ford

摘要:

软件开发人员正在转向vlog(视频博客),分享穿着他们的鞋子走路的一天。通过这些视频博客,开发人员可以分享他们的技术工作以及个人生活的丰富视角。然而,vlog中描绘的活动类型与行业开发人员执行的活动不同吗?如果一家软件公司的开发人员被要求通过视频博客分享他们的一天,他们会更喜欢在不同程度上展示活动吗?为了回答这些问题,我们分析了YouTube上软件开发人员的130个视频博客,并对一家大型软件公司的335名软件开发人员进行了调查。我们发现,尽管视频博客呈现了传统的开发活动,如编码和编码外围活动(11%),但它们也突出了健康和生活方式相关的活动(47.3%),这些活动在以前的软件工程文献中没有反映出来。我们还发现,软件公司的开发人员倾向于分享更多的非编码任务(例如,个人项目,与家人和朋友在一起的时间,以及健康),当被要求创建一个模拟vlog以促进多样性时。这些发现表明,我们对软件开发人员如何花费时间的理解发生了转变,并发现有价值的公开分享。我们讨论了vlog如何提供软件开发工作的更完整的视角,并作为实证研究的宝贵数据来源。

英文摘要:

Software developers are turning to vlogs (video blogs) to share what a day is like to walk in their shoes. Through these vlogs developers share a rich perspective of their technical work as well their personal lives. However, does the type of activities portrayed in vlogs differ from activities developers in the industry perform? Would developers at a software company prefer to show activities to different extents if they were asked to share about their day through vlogs? To answer these questions, we analyzed 130 vlogs by software developers on YouTube and conducted a survey with 335 software developers at a large software company. We found that although vlogs present traditional development activities such as coding and code peripheral activities (11%), they also prominently feature wellness and lifestyle related activities (47.3%) that have not been reflected in previous software engineering literature. We also found that developers at the software company were inclined to share more non-coding tasks (e.g., personal projects, time spent with family and friends, and health) when asked to create a mock-up vlog to promote diversity. These findings demonstrate a shift in our understanding of how software developers are spending their time and find valuable to share publicly. We discuss how vlogs provide a more complete perspective of software development work and serve as a valuable source of data for empirical research.
