Just discovered the fully online book "Cooperative Software Development" by @amyjko . It's now at the top of my to-read list.

In the introduction, Dr. Ko writes that the book focuses "on the many ways that software engineering work is cognitive, social, and organizational", and that "it does so by engaging extensively with academic research literature".

Ooooh Paul can you tell me more? Tbh, I'm swimming in investigatory paths to follow up on in through the many responses to my original question, and won't have time to deep dive on each one - how did Grace Hopper talk about FLOW-MATIC?

For those who have been in the software development & engineering space for awhile: Does this feel temporally accurate? Do you remember talking about "developer experience" way ahead of 2012? I'm wondering if industry informed research focus with this paper, or if the paper and operationalization of the term informed industry.

Lit reviewing "developer experience" as a construct and earliest thing I found in initial search is from Fagerholm and Münch(2012):

F. Fagerholm and J. Münch, "Developer experience: Concept and definition," 2012 International Conference on Software and System Process (ICSSP), Zurich, Switzerland, 2012, pp. 73-77, doi: 10.1109/ICSSP.2012.6225984.

It doesn't reference any existing literature on developer experience. Google ngram also shows a HUGE spike in "developer experience" mentions in 2013.
