No traditional research is mostly done by post-docs and have a phd level of education rather than a tech bro that passed leetcode. That seems like a good bar to have; not too mention the whole peer review thing, hard to really understand anything if you purposely withhold it and tell people to kick rocks.

Plenty of research is performed by non PhDs.

The main difference is reproducibility and peer review process.

Two separate axes here: whether the research is in a blog, and whether it’s peer reviewed.

On the first, I mostly don’t care.

On the second, that’s mostly unavoidable if they want to keep their IP.

Science is a method of inquiry, not an institution or group of people with titles.
