I think reading 10-20 ancedotes is far more useful than an academic paper.

After meeting my PhD professor. I stopped trusting academia for truth.

I spent some time digging through academic research last year for a chapter of a book I was writing. There was some interesting work both relating directly to software development and collaboration and other topics more broadly. There was also a lot of unreadable crap that was pretty disconnected from the real world.

Academia's disconnect with practical things is amazing.

The dishonesty to "prove" something was shocking.

Now I skip the abstract and go straight to Data.
