Reading & Research
My journey into reading research papers — and eventually publishing my own.
"The first step is to read. The next is to understand. Then comes contributing."
✦ Why Research Papers
I believe the best ideas live at the frontier of knowledge. Research papers are how I get closer to that frontier. I'm starting with CS papers and gradually expanding into philosophy of technology and adjacent fields.
