I'm a computer science researcher, working in systems and software engineering research. I'm particularly qualified to talk about the experience of academic computer science, but AMA.
The way I understand it, academic CS reached a state of affairs where peer-reviewed journal publications (almost) don't matter, and conferences are the primary vehicles of communicating research and acquiring status. Do you have an opinion on this state of affairs? Is it harmful? beneficial? Why did CS converge on it, and not say math/physics?
To an outsider like me, it just seems so weird.
