Can we all agree that there’s not just one strand of research in any given discipline? It’s entirely possible for it to be simultaneously true for academic research and industry research (and government research, for that matter) to be decades ahead of each other in the same field.
Also, @Mastadon’s point a few posts ago is important: Comp sci isn’t really a useful field for this thread, because the supply of potential faculty members is so tight. Rather, the link that started this thread applied to other fields (the vast majority of them), where there’s an oversupply of potential faculty, given current market conditions.
