I need to vent before I completely burn out. My supervisor has started treating major conferences like weekend hackathons, and I'm losing my mind. We are told to come up with something to submit roughly two weeks before the deadline, and he doesn't even care if it gets rejected. Apparently, the experience of trying is the goal. It's no wonder top-tier conferences receive tens of thousands of submissions. and I hate my life.   submitted by   /u/SillyNeuron [link]   [comments]
