contents If software research were a performance, it would be a thoughtful theater play -- full of rich content but confined to the traditional stage of academic publishing. Meanwhile, its potential audience is immersed in engaging on-demand experiences, leaving the theater half-empty, and the research findings lost in the wings. As long as this remains the case, discussions about research relevance and impact lack meaningful context.
