paper reading

in my quest of reading interesting research papers which were foundational and visionary, I have decided to document this journey here, so this acts as a collection of cool papers on my interests around databases, distributed systems, os, networks, and agentic systems. I’m also adding a few lines of my thoughts about each paper, my learnings, what I loved about it, and what could’ve been done better (if any). if you want to follow along do subscribe to my newsletter where I would post whenever I add a new research paper in here. click on the link to read my thoughts and learnings about these papers
