Min frus utbrott den här morgonen:

Läser inledning på ett mejl som precis kom, med förlöjligande röst: ”Berätta om din senaste kundupplevelse.…”

Sedan, ”Va-fan det skiter väl jag i. Kan man inte få gå ut från en affär och se’n är det bra!?”

Precis så. Samtiden.

Understanding the Issue Types in Open Source Blockchain-based Software Projects with the Transformer-based BERTopic
Blockchain-based software systems are increasingly deployed across diverse domains, yet a systematic understanding of their development challenges remains limited. This paper presents a large-scale empirical study of 497,742 issues mined from 1,209 open-source blockchain projects hosted on GitHub. Employing BERTopic, a transformer-based topic modeling technique, we identify 49 distinct issue topics and organize them hierarchically into 11 major subcategories. Our analysis reveals that both gene…
