I actually just manually check arxiv every morning for the new submissions in my field. It's like getting in the habit of browsing reddit except with a lot less cute animal pictures (maybe because I'm not in biology).
I know this question is probably a little off topic for this post but I'm very eager to get some kind of answer. What should I be reading? I'm a computer science student, I want to go into a "Software Engineering" line of work. Are there any places to read up on related topics? I have yet to find something that interests my direct field of choice. Is there one on in academia writing about software? I also like NLP an…
Also, they generally have industry or "in practice" tracks that have postmortems from the big software companies in case you want something more applied.
(1) I manually check the proceedings of the important conferences in my subfield when they come out. (2) I check my field's arXiv every other day or so. (3) Google Scholar alerts me of papers that it thinks will interest me, based on my own papers, and it's very useful. Most of what it shows me is in fact interesting for me, and it sometimes catches papers from obscure venues that I wouldn't see otherwise. The proble…
For example, I usually log in to the ACM site and go to my SIGs and see what's new there. I've never thought about visiting arXiv.

I made a simple service for myself ( http://paperfeed.io ) which is a feed of all the new papers in journals I care about. I can "star" papers for reading later. Works extremely well for my habits. You're welcome to try it (not sure if the signup workflow still works; let me know). I'll be happy to hear your feedback. Edit: you can upvote papers, and they'll float to the top just like on HN.

ICSE [1] and FSE [2] are the top software engineering research conferences. Skimming the titles/abstracts of their papers each year doesn't take long. Also, they generally have industry or "in practice" tracks that have postmortems from the big software companies in case you want something more applied.

What does arXiv provide that your conference proceedings / association doesn't? For example, I usually log in to the ACM site and go to my SIGs and see what's new there. I've never thought about visiting arXiv.
Just to give a concrete example, this paper (which was a relevant read for me) was published in TACL in July this year but was available in arXiv since February: https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.01595

NBER working papers series is great for economics papers. Most go on to be published in top journals.
