。本文考察了从事软件开发的程序员所做的阅读。阅读是一项我们认为对编程研究具有基本兴趣的活动，但其实际效果尚未得到仔细研究。我们给出了程序员成对阅读和单独阅读的例子，并说明这两种情况下的阅读都可以用共享的社会实践来解释。这些实践不是由规范决定的，但也不是纯粹的社会建构；相反，它们存在于代码和程序员阅读代码的方式之间的联系中。我们将讨论(1)日常编码工作的特点如何为阅读某段代码创造相关的场合，(2)程序员如何排序并期望代码有顺序，以及(3)程序员如何分析代码以理解代码。这是一项民族方法学研究，来自于一家专业软件开发公司的民族志田野调查。
. This paper examines reading as done by programmers engaged in software development. Reading is an activity we feel should be of fundamental interest to studies of programming, but the practical achievement of which has not been closely examined. We give examples of programmers reading in pairs, and reading alone, and show reading in both cases to be explainable in terms of shared social practices. These practices are not determined by the code but nor are they purely socially constructed; rather they lie in the linkage be-tween the code and programmers’ ways of reading the code. We discuss (1) how features of day-to-day coding work create pertinent occasions for reading a certain piece of code, (2) how programmers order and expect there to be an order to code, and (3) how programmers have ways of analysing code in order to make sense of it. This is an ethnomethodological study that draws from ethnographic fieldwork at a professional software development company.
