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.
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.
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,
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
