Listen to this interview of Sterre van Breukelen, engineer, Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands; and Ann Barcomb, Assistant Professor, University of Calgary, Canada; and Sebastian Baltes, Full Professor, University of Bayreuth, Germany; and Alexander Serebrenik, Full Professor, Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands. We talk about their coauthored paper "STILL AROUND": Experiences and Survival Strategies of Veteran Women Software Developers (ICSE 2023).

Alexander Serebrenik : "It's a typical criticism of any human-factors study in software engineering, namely: What makes software engineers any different than any other human being — could a study have been conducted, say, with nurses or judges or whichever other professional category you can imagine. Therefore, in this paper "STILL AROUND" it was crucial for us to present clearly in the Introduction what it is that makes software engineers somehow special with respect to gender and age. Because otherwise, we would have struggled to convince researchers to devote any attention to the topic."
