Do secondary studies in Software Engineering even contribute to the evolution of knowledge anymore, or are they just surface-level summaries that harvest easy citations while increasing the volume of published research?

🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣 ✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....
Cover of my new book, Deep Unlearning: The Rise of AI and The Radicalization of a Tech Idealist. 

There are two concentric circles in the book, the left being circuits in black an white, and the right being a bunch of dots with orange accents. The cover background is cream. And the words are written in black except for "Un" which is in orange.

I've interviewed quite a few PhD student parents in my research. And while it's not universal, a pattern I've seen is--if dad is the student, mom drops out of the workforce or works part-time; if mom is the student, dad is the primary earner, so mom fits school around primary responsibility for care
