I am sorry for that. Fortunately, this does not resemble my experience (electrical engineering/digital signal processing).

Usually I got quite critical comments (positive and/or negative). Yes, sometimes a reviewer does not write even a single sentence before giving an average score to complete the review process. But this has not been the regular case.

And as a reviewer for a conference paper of 4 to 6 pages, I usually assigned 1 to 3 hours to read it (journal papers: 1 to 2 days) and to give comments.

Curiously, the one paper which was actually reviewed was in an IEEE journal and about filter design.

Most of the rest of my papers were in completely different disciplines.

It was an awesome paper -- in my mind, groundbreaking -- but I'm not convinced anyone beyond the reviewers ever read it. I see about a dozen citations which popped up years later, clicked through a few, and they were inane.

Problem is it was work in a very, very classical field, alongside Butterworth, Chebyshev, and similar, and while quite fundamental, and with many applications, there is no contemporary research there.

My most popular papers were mostly rather.... random.

Oh dude. You gotta link it after that. I'm asking.

That would tie back HN username to my real name, which I don't want to do.

Glad to shoot a message if you have an email, linkedin, whatsapp...
