How Researchers Use and Verify AI Coding Assistants: Tasks and Validation Practices in Scientific Programming
Gabrielle O'Brien, Reed Milewicz, Nasir Eisty
Generative AI has entered research programming, yet there is little evidence about which tasks researchers hand to it or how they decide whether its code is correct. We draw on 527…
Charting Uncertain Waters: A Socio-Technical Roadmap for Sustaining Open Source Communities in the Age of GenAI
Zixuan Feng, Reed Milewicz, Emerson Murphy-Hill +4
Open Source Software (OSS) communities face a wave of uncertainty as Generative AI (GenAI) rapidly transforms how software is created, maintained, and governed. Without clear frame…
Scientific Open-Source Software Is Less Likely to Become Abandoned Than One Might Think! Lessons from Curating a Catalog of Maintained Scientific Software
Addi Malviya Thakur, Reed Milewicz, Mahmoud Jahanshahi +3
Scientific software is essential to scientific innovation and in many ways it is distinct from other types of software. Abandoned (or unmaintained), buggy, and hard to use software…
