Confessions of a working group junkie
Charles P. Riedesel · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 2011
For years I have attended ITiCSE in exotic locales, only to be willingly sequestered in unremarkable rooms for days, trying to hammer out optimal wording for papers under strict time constraints. Why do I do this to myself? Is it the twinges of guilt I feel for attending ACM's ICPC (International Collegiate Programming Contest) all these years, where I get to relax while watching my teams struggle against the clock with blockbuster programming problems? My answer is a resounding NO!
