The survey has reached its limit of 20 responses and is no longer accepting input. </h2> <p>Hello! I was a software practitioner (dev, design, agile) for 20+ years, and now I’m a grad student studying how software teams work and what values they promote and practice. If you’ve worked on a software team or teams in a development capacity during the past few years, I’d love to give you a $30CAD Amazon gift card in exchange for approximately 15 minutes of your time filling out an online survey for my research project. </p> <p>Besides the gift card, my hope is that this research can offer an opportunity to contribute to an understanding of software production as something bigger than a job, something that can help people think and act in different and adaptive ways. The link below will remain active until 20 developers respond to the survey (and provide their email address on it, which is optional if you don’t want a gift card), because that’s my project’s budget. Many thanks in advance!</p> programming career webdev learning
