Recently I am studying music production and playing around with Ableton Live 11. As a first step, I am dwelling into subtractive sound synthesis and trying to recreate well-known sounds from scratch as an exercise for refining my hear and technique (with very rough results at the moment!). At some point I had the enlightenment: …

It is quite a while since I am investigating how Android developers maintain their apps. Yesterday I presented a study about how maintainability issues of Android apps evolve at the 34th International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME 2018). The study uncovers the frequency and evolution of maintainability issues of Android apps. Its results …
