It is possible to recognize how much the publishing process is useful and still feel it is perfectible. It made me think a bit about the state of research when Paul Krugman was explaining that at his point, communication between researchers basically happens between arxiv and blogs. Official publications come at a later time as part of a validation of the whole process, but its cycle is too slow to be useful anymore. In CS and especially in things related to deep learning, I can understand that pausing to publish can be felt like a delay. I feel like the typical publication format is not well adapted to CS. For instance, a big point of formal publications is to give other researchers the tools to reproduce your experiments. Why is it not the norm to offer source code or even docker containers then?
