Hi everyone,
I’m a researcher conducting an academic study on how developers interact with Large Language Models (LLMs) during coding tasks in real-world settings.
This study is NOT about evaluating your coding skills.
We focus only on your prompts and interaction style with LLMs.
What we study
How developers prompt and communicate with LLMs
Interaction patterns during coding-related tasks
NOT code quality or programming ability
Important clarifications
This is NOT a coding test
There is NO evaluation of your programming skills
You do NOT need to submit code for grading or review
We only collect prompts, conversations, and LLM outputs
What participation involves
Completing 5 short coding-related tasks using your usual prompting style
You may use:
Open-source LLMs (e.g., Code LLaMA, StarCoder, DeepSeek, etc.)
OR commercial models (e.g., GPT, Claude, Gemini)
Screen & audio recording during the session (research use only)
A brief exit interview about your experience
Duration
- Up to 60 minutes total
Compensation
- $15 after completing all study tasks and the exit interview
Recruitment timeline
We aim to recruit 20 participants by January 4
Sessions will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis
Eligibility
18 years or older
Experience using LLMs for coding (any skill level welcome)
Data use & ethics
Data will be used solely for academic research
Findings may be published in research venues
All recordings will remain confidential and used only by the research team
