The human side of developer experience in open source

Hey Directus community!

I’m Nicolas, a PhD candidate at the University of Namur, working on the human side of developer experience. My research explores how Big Five personality traits affect the way people experience collaboration, feedback, pairing, planning, and other everyday software practices.

Directus brings together open-source contributors and builders who care about making complex systems more approachable. That mix of accessibility, collaboration, and DX is exactly why your perspective would be valuable.

The survey is anonymous, takes about 10 minutes, and gives you an immediate scientifically validated Big Five profile in return. I close data collection on September 15 — a tiny bit of your time would be a huge help.

Survey: Your personality in team situations

Thank you!
