@neilernst Journal metrics are a mess, imo. I pay basically 0 attention to them. But that makes it even more important to have an ongoing dialogue with students, since they can’t just look it up themselves.

@neilernst And about JSS - I don't want to get into a public dirt fight, but for me (!) the avg paper quality and selectiveness of JSS is a very noticeable step below TSE, EMSE, and TOSEM.

Feel free to disagree, but I personally value those a lot higher than JSS.

@neilernst Pretty much, yes. PhD students often ask questions if they should only submit to ICSE, or conversely what's the point of taking the risk of submitting to ICSE rather than submitting somewhere they know they will get accepted etc. They see different PhD students and advisors in SE take (very) different approaches, and this document tries to lay down some ground rules how I think about publications (after lots of conversations with my students over the years).

I worked with my PhD students in my research lab to formalise our approach to publications:

@shriramk in Europe the opposite seems to be happening - checkout until midday seems to becoming the norm.

The work hustle culture in the US is massively harmful to men's mental health, not to mention their ability to do effective parenting. Are we fixing this? No, we are just subjecting women to the same toxic culture.

If you didn't have One Big Diagram in your proposal, and now you're working on your dissertation, it's not too late to add one!

Your One Big Diagram might be hypothetical. Maybe your dissertation is a staple job, and there was never one single artifact that incorporates all the pieces. That's okay -- you can probably still do One Big Diagram. Telling a story about how the pieces *might* fit together -- even if it's fiction -- will help people understand what the pieces *are*.

@Garwboy if you define „bad“ as „different from my own idealized childhood“, as some parents seem to do, then smartphones are definitely „bad“.

I've said this often: the discourse around smartphones/social media for young people is 99% dictated by 'concerned parents' agreeing with other 'concerned parents' about how their 'concerns' are valid, and thus something must be done!

That's not how anything should work, but hey ho, I guess

Social media ban for under-16s 'on the table' in UK

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce9gpdrx829o

You know what else I'd like to know is 'on the table'? Safeguards or exemptions for young people and teens who will be legitimately harmed by this move.

The tech secretary Peter Kyle also said he wanted an "assertive" approach from the regulator, Ofcom.
