Public Service Announcement. Reading research papers is so important for your growth and career, please put in a process to do it at least once in a month or two. (I will try to write a blog post about why it is important, and how to go about it, since I see there is a big need for this.)

Papers We Love is a great resource, https://paperswelove.org/, if you like to get involved in a community to dip your feet into reading papers first.

And if you like to read papers physically https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262045308/ideas-that-created-th... is a book of important papers in the field, complete with historical context.

Totally agree! If you're in Portland, join us for Papers We Love in person!

https://www.meetup.com/papers-we-love-pdx

Next meetup is Weds 10 May. We've been reading data-oriented papers recently (CRDTs/AutoMerge, Delta Lake, C-Store, etc) but we'll likely do some of these papers soon. Hope you can join us.

Papers We Love was one of the two excellent meetups in NYC (the other being the Linux Users Group). That is, it wasn't just vendor advertisement time.

Unfortunately I don't think it's come back since the pandemic.

Hope it does.

While it's not the group, there is a Github repo which is constantly updated: https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love.

Do you have an address of your blog? I'm interested in reading your blog post about your process

mad44 is I believe the author of the blog that OP linked, so the blog is just the OP, http://muratbuffalo.blogspot.com/ .

I don't see any direct articles about process as Murat characterizes himself as a researcher first and thus doesn't necessarily have much to say about “how do you fit this into your 9-to-5,” but he does give some reading advice,

"Read papers, not too much, mostly foundational ones", http://muratbuffalo.blogspot.com/2021/02/read-papers-not-too...

agreed. the best papers are often better reading than the vast majority of technical books or websites. perhaps because of the pressure to be clear and concise. with books I find I often must wade through lots of fluff or "novel to novices" ideas. best papers have a great S/N ratio
