We like to keep abreast of undergrad classes here, it's useful for knowing what incoming software engineers have been learning as well as to fill any gaps in our own education.
fair enough. also useful for (both sides of) job interviews, I guess. do you keep up to date about relevant research as well? I see a lot of Stable Diffusion posts, but that's arguably not because of the paper but because the published model is hackable. I guess keeping abreast of the papers leading up to Stable Diffusion would have been more important if you wanted to be the entrepreneur who created the tool?
