How to search for papers like a 5years old!

r/

Hey everyone.
Something about myself (if you want to just read questions, skip this):
I am a total newbie in searching for papers. But I decided to start, read at least some papers every week to keep myself updated.
But I don’t know how to search optimally. The only thing I know is that I can use google scholar for search and I tried it, but I think you should have a subject for search to get some good papers result.
My subject in my mind is very general, i.e. computer science, programming, gpu computing, ….

So, 2 questions,
First, do you know any good resources like a news channel that talks about good papers or good subjects (by goods I mean, useful stuff for a technical person)
Second, do you have any specific way pf researching or you just google scholar?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

    If you’re trying to look for influential papers that are several years old, see who is getting cited a lot in your field and read their work. If you are trying to stay current, look on LinkedIn and Bluesky for influential people who post a lot and read what they share. You can use automated tools but I find they send me things I am not interested in.
