   A particular interest of mine is database systems (and by extension, distributed systems) and I’ve noticed this pattern a fair amount when reading database-related CS papers. It tends to feel like a small circle of researchers citing each o

   Aaaaand confirmed! You do work for Apple. (It took me 30 seconds to visit your website and confirm this.)
