I know this post generated a lot of discussion and intentions. I’m curious—how’s the situation different now vs. 2009?

But if CHI went away or better became more of a late breaking work / social event (like most fields have) with related smaller venues using journal model, I’d be quite happy...

i'd also be curious what the state of things are now. it seems like clean, well-defined, "bite-sized" problems is a phenomenon in all of academia though, rather than specific to HCI...

i'm tempted to say it's a feature, not a bug (better to do real-world systems work in industry, interfacing with real users for a sustained period of time). are there reasons to shift more of this to academia?
