This week, I recounted my experience of being a paper reviewer, and interviewed Ciera Jaspan on why and how to attend a research conference.
Ciera leads Engineering Productivity Research at Google and is the co-chair for this year’s industry track at ICSE. In our interview, Ciera shared:

- The split between industry and academic research, including papers from Alibaba, Amazon, Atlassian, SAP, Uber, and more
