https://jeffhuang.com/best_paper_awards/Collection of best paper awards for 32 computer science conferences since 1996
I imagine this was a ton of work to dig through all of these conference websites from the past 20 years to find and link to the papers that won best paper awards. This isn't the kind of data that is all just sitting behind a open REST API somewhere.
It's neat to see conferences that I attended or submitted to like ICSE as well as ones that were outside of my field of research, but are now areas of interest like AAAI.
Also, this is exactly the kind of resource I was looking for when I asked on Reddit recently: Most important LLM paper in the past year : r/LLMDevs.

The most fabulous kind of machine
https://bertrandmeyer.com/2025/04/23/a-paean-to-programming/Now think about what computers really are: one of the most fabulous kind of machines ever devised by mankind, but different from all the machines invented before in that they can solve not just one problem, but any problem which is presented to them, provided the problem and the solution technique can be described in complete detaiI. A computer is thus more of a “meta-machine,” and computer science is really the science of problem-solving.
