Experiences of Software Developers Working from Home During the Pandemic: A Q&A with Jenna Butler Empirical Software Engineering Banter

Dr. Jenna Butler, a senior software engineer with Microsoft, visits our course on empirical software engineering and discusses what she learned through a diary study to understand early and ongoing reflections from developers as they transitioned to working from home during the pandemic. In her longitudinal diary study, Jenna asks about gratitude developers feel (e.g., many feel gratitude for being productive at work and to their colleagues) as well as challenges developers experience.  

This Q&A was recorded live as part of a workshop on Developer Productivity,  at a Senior Topics Course in Empirical Software Engineering at the University of Victoria on Nov 20th, 2020.   For this week, we read materials posted at this page.

This Q&A is also available on YouTube.
