❓ Question for y'all software folks:

@CSLee and I are working on creating the Code Review Anxiety Toolkit based on her and @grimalkina's latest research: https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/8k5a4.

The purpose of this resource will be to enable software developers to understand and mitigate their code review anxiety in a way that is supported by the empirical research.

(❓ question in reply)

We want to make this resource super accessible for folks, and so are wondering: Would y'all prefer a:

  • text-based workbook?
  • text-based workbook with some supplementary, embedded videos?
  • podcast-style audio guide?
  • video tutorial/guide?
    -something else we haven't thought of?

Basically I'm asking: Do you prefer text, audio, or video? Truly, this is for YOU, so we want to know what works best for you. Thanks in advance for providing your feedback and preferences!

@KFosterMarks Text-based with optional media support.
It has to be supporting, hence showing the same thing in a different way, not showing something additional.

I hate to wait for the interesting parts while someone talks or reads as I'm faster skimming through the text, but even coders might have read-write-disorders.

@mafe Thanks for this! We are definitely committed to accessibility, here, and I appreciate your reminder of just how very important that is!

@KFosterMarks I work with academic lab groups, and I'm guessing the format they'd find most useful would be text based workbooks, possibly with embedded videos—something a grad student or postdoc or RSE like me could use to facilitate a lab meeting on the topic

@LeafyEricScott Oh, I love that idea - and this highlights an "intended audience" element: We may very well need to create different resources for different audiences. I.e., an individual contributor who has no desire to "reveal" their anxiety to their leader or team would want a slightly different resource than someone facilitating a code review anxiety workshop to a group of opt-in software devs at a company.

@KFosterMarks "Text-based workflow that has been rigorously user-tested for usability and accessibility".

matt,

@KFosterMarks Well, text is the easiest to make accessible in the sense of being usable for disabled people, so I'd say start with text.
