How One May Start doing research? (Thank you SPJ and Michael D. Adams)

Try some practical programming
- Research problem may come out of it
  - From SPJ: Of time when implementing, research problems arise. A programmer can choose to hask it away, or attempt to find a proper solution
- Even if it is not research, it can help gain experiences in a particular field
- You can discover ergonomic problems just from programming a lot, for example
  - Runtime information to help with performance debugging
  - Better navigation of massive library with large numbers of API
One can still do theoretical research
- But one may not find use for it
It may be valuable to open up / explore the middle ground between purely theoretical and practical
- Of course this won’t be easy either, but it is an area to consider
