Query: How does Working from Home Affect Developer Productivity? -- A Case
  Study of Baidu During COVID-19 Pandemic   Nowadays, working from home (WFH) has become a popular work arrangement due
to its many potential benefits for both companies and employees (e.g.,
increasing job satisfaction and retention of employees). Many previous studies
have investigated the impact of working from home on the productivity of
employees. However, most of these studies usually use a qualitative analysis
method such as survey and interview, and the studied participants do not work
from home for a long continuing time. Due to the outbreak of coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19), a large number of companies asked their employees to
work from home, which provides us an opportunity to investigate whether working
from home affects their productivity.
  In this study, to investigate the difference of developer productivity
between working from home and working onsite, we conduct a quantitative
analysis based on a dataset of developers' daily activities from Baidu Inc, one
of the largest IT companies in China. In total, we collected approximately four
thousand records of 139 developers' activities of 138 working days. Out of
these records, 1,103 records are submitted when developers work from home due
to COVID-19 pandemic. We find that WFH has both positive and negative impacts
on developer productivity in terms of different metrics, e.g., the number of
builds/commits/code reviews. We also notice that working from home has
different impacts on projects with different characteristics including
programming language, project type/age/size. For example, working from home has
a negative impact on developer productivity for large projects. Additionally,
we find that productivity varies for different developers. Based on these
findings, we get some feedbacks from developers of Baidu and understand some
reasons why WFH has different impacts on developer productivity.
