The Share Experiment
Posted By: Jordan ParsonsRecently I was invited to participate in the Share Experiment, a development project by Yannick Assogba, an MIT media lab student. It was a week long processing programming experiment where the participants shared their code in effort to study how the code is used and how people work off of it. Here is the official information, before my thoughts on the project.
Share is an experiment in designing a networked programming tool for distributed communities of practice.
It is an IDE that automatically shares all the code you write with everyone else that is using Share, and keeps track of how that code is used. Thus allowing you to see the network that grows around code you contribute to, borrow from, or just happen to be interested in.
