Do you have a favorite source for papers?
HN surfaces a lot of good ones. Sometimes friends recommend stuff. Or I search for things I'm interested in.
Then once you have a hook into your topic, it usually cites 30+ other papers that may be worth reading. You will never run out.
Honestly I’ve switched to books and papers a few years ago and it has been fantastic. 2 hours of reading a half decent book or paper outweighs a week of reading the best blogposts, twitter threads, or YouTube videos.
