Vlog开发者:通过社区和身份消除刻板印象

Developers Who Vlog: Dismantling Stereotypes through Community and Identity

Souti Chattopadhyay, Denae Ford, Thomas Zimmermann

摘要:

开发人员不仅仅是“整天躲在电脑后面的书呆子”,他们过着正常的生活,并不是所有人都走传统的道路学习编程。然而,公众仍然将软件开发视为“数学奇才”的职业。为了从第一人称视角更多地了解这种特殊类型的知识工作者,我们进行了三项研究,以了解开发人员如何通过YouTube上的vlog描述他们生活中的一天,以及这些vlog如何被更广泛的社区所接受。我们首先采访了16位vlog开发人员,以确定他们创建这些内容的动机以及他们选择描绘的内容背后的意图。其次,我们分析了130个vlog(视频博客),以了解通过视频传达的内容的范围。第三,我们分析了来自130个vlog的1176条评论,以了解vlog对观众的影响。我们发现,开发人员有动力促进和建立一个多元化的社区,通过分享生活的不同方面,定义他们的身份,并通过创建有关学习和职业机会的意识在计算。他们使用视频博客来分享软件开发人员的各种工作和生活方式-展示经常看不见的体验,包括他们个人生活中的亲密时刻。从我们的评论分析中,我们发现vlog对于观众寻找信息和寻求建议是有价值的。评论者寻求机会与其他人联系,分享他们所面临的胜利和考验,这些也在视频博客中显示。作为一个中心主题,我们发现开发人员使用vlog来挑战围绕他们的身份,工作生活和幸福的误解和刻板印象。这些社会耻辱是一个包容和接受社区的障碍,并可能阻止人们选择软件开发作为职业。我们还讨论了使用vlog来支持开发人员,研究人员等的影响。

英文摘要:

Developers are more than "nerds behind computers all day", they lead a normal life, and not all take the traditional path to learn programming. However, the public still sees software development as a profession for "math wizards". To learn more about this special type of knowledge worker from their first-person perspective, we conducted three studies to learn how developers describe a day in their life through vlogs on YouTube and how these vlogs were received by the broader community. We first interviewed 16 developers who vlogged to identify their motivations for creating this content and their intention behind what they chose to portray. Second, we analyzed 130 vlogs (video blogs) to understand the range of the content conveyed through videos. Third, we analyzed 1176 comments from the 130 vlogs to understand the impact the vlogs have on the audience. We found that developers were motivated to promote and build a diverse community, by sharing different aspects of life that define their identity, and by creating awareness about learning and career opportunities in computing. They used vlogs to share a variety of how software developers work and live -- showcasing often unseen experiences, including intimate moments from their personal life. From our comment analysis, we found that the vlogs were valuable to the audience to find information and seek advice. Commenters sought opportunities to connect with others over shared triumphs and trials they faced that were also shown in the vlogs. As a central theme, we found that developers use vlogs to challenge the misconceptions and stereotypes around their identity, work-life, and well-being. These social stigmas are obstacles to an inclusive and accepting community and can deter people from choosing software development as a career. We also discuss the implications of using vlogs to support developers, researchers, and beyond.
