Abstract

This extended abstract is based on our paper “Do You Remember This Source Code?”, published at the International Conference on Software Engineering 2018 [ Kr18 ]. We summarize and discuss our results on programmers’ memory and forgetting. To this end, we focus on reverse engineering of software, which was the primary context in which we conducted this work.
