The culture of rejection in computer science publications
It doesn't matter what color you are. It doesn't matter where you're from. If you create something like what Dijkstra created back in 56' (undeniable innovation), then no door will remain shut. That's the beauty of Math, CompSci, or STEM as a whole.Not to be too blunt, but I'd rather we keep this soft, "everyone should be accepted" nonsense out of CompSci. The cream will rise to the top. Anyone complaining just needs to improve, or innovate. The author even says the reason for rejection is often "lack of novelty".Me personally, I'm not talented enough to even be in the same conversation as some of the people who are in that "universe", but that's okay - It just wasn't meant to be for me. If I "stay in my own lane", that creates more room for the gifted, and the elite.
