Hier sind unsere erste Ergebnisse aus unserer Studie rund um Autismus im Software Engineering. Erkennt ihr euch darin wieder? Fehlen Themen, sind eure Erfahrungen ganz anders? Meldet euch gern :) @svenapel.bsky.social, @janetsiegmund.bsky.social Isabella Graßl, Stefan Sobernig #autism #se

Quadratische Sharepic-Grafik mit der Überschrift „Stärken erkennen“. Links steht eine gezeichnete, lächelnde Person mit erhobener Faust. Rechts befinden sich sechs grüne Themenfelder mit Icons: „Neugier und Offenheit für Neues“, „Andere unterstützen“, „Bewusste Kommunikation“, „Hohe Persönliche Standards“, „Leitung zielführender Meetings“ und „Interesse an Herausforderung“. Die Grafik wirkt positiv und ermutigend.

Quadratische Sharepic-Grafik mit der Überschrift „Handlungsbedarf“. Links steht eine gezeichnete Person mit verschränkten Armen und verärgertem Gesichtsausdruck; neben dem Kopf sind Dampfwolken als Zeichen von Frustration zu sehen. Rechts stehen sechs farbige Themenfelder mit Icons: „Bedürfnis nach Struktur“, „Sinnhaftigkeit der Arbeit“, „Probleme in sozialen Situationen“, „Zu viele Stimuli“, „Einhaltung persönlicher Standards für Arbeit“ und „Verantwortungen fair verteilen“. Die Grafik macht deutlich, wo aus Sicht der Forschung Handlungsbedarf besteht.

Quadratische Sharepic-Grafik mit der Überschrift „Autismus am Arbeitsplatz“. Links sitzt eine gezeichnete Person mit schwarzem Dutt an einem Tisch vor einem Laptop. Rechts stehen drei gelbe Themenfelder mit Icons: „Was spricht für ein Outing“, „Was spricht gegen ein Outing“ und „Wem gegenüber ist man geoutet“. Die Grafik nutzt warme Beige-, Gelb- und Brauntöne.

Quadratische Sharepic-Grafik mit der Überschrift „Eure Forschungsthemen“. Links steht eine gezeichnete Person mit roten Haaren, Brille und einem Buch in der Hand. Rechts sind drei rosa Themenfelder mit Icons zu sehen: „Abbau von Vorurteilen“, „Entstehung sozialer Normen“ und „Empowerment“. Die Grafik ist freundlich gestaltet und nutzt helle Rosa-, Beige- und Violetttöne.

On the spectrum and working in IT? We think that especially in IT, research is still too often done about you rather than with you. @svenapel.bsky.social @janetsiegmund.bsky.social & Isabella Graßl #Neurodiversity #Autism #ComputerScience

A illustrated picture of a group of happy people. Around the image is the text: On the spectrum & working in IT. Then participate in our research.

Auf dem Spektrum und in der IT? Wir finden: Gerade in der IT wird leider noch zu oft über euch geforscht statt mit euch. Wir wollen wissen, was euch in euren IT-Jobs interessiert und bewegt. @svenapel.bsky.social @janetsiegmund.bsky.social & Isabella Graßl #Neurodiversität #Autismus #Informatik

🤖 Using AI while coding? Think again. 🖥️ A study conducted by Prof. Dr @svenapel.bsky.social and his team shows that, compared to human partners, developers working with AI assistants approach code less critically and experience less knowledge transfer. 🔗 Read more: sic.link/software

Prof. Dr. Sven Apel sits smiling in an office environment with computer monitors in the background. Beneath the photo, a blue banner displays the text: "Is AI your friend? Saarbrücken says: Not yet — especially while you’re coding." Logos for Saarland University and Saarland Informatics Campus appear at the top.

Experiments in SE research often require a contrast condition or baseline (e.g., contrasting reading code with problem solving or reading prose). What is the influence of the choice of baseline on the actual results? See our TOSEM paper for answers: www.se.cs.uni-saarland.de/publications...
