Interesting post – I think many of us that love CS theory are having similar internal debates along the years. For now I prefer the practical side of things as well, even though my mother keeps asking me every once in a while “why don’t you go get a Ph.D”

[...] I’m overloaded. So in the past few months I’ve gradually reduced my subscription list from over 50 feeds to around a dozen, and at the same time increased my reliance on Genieo, which claims to be tracking already 537 feeds for me (though not all are ones I really would fully subscribe to, but that’s the beauty of it…) [...]
