There are so many mentions of reading paper. Do papers like these exists for regular enterprise software devs like me who make apis in Dotnet/go, good knol of multiple major cloud tools, k8s etc, has developed couple of iOS apps.

I can do my job but I always wanted to learn and understand more. Family circumstances mean I can't afford to quit my job or go to school.

For a software engineer I would rather recommend implementing from a reference software implementation. There are for example tons of "Model XX from scratch" in Python - which you can translate to Dotnet/Go.

Implementing code from a paper is almost its own skillset. Papers are often math heavy and they are information dense, with lots of references to exiting works. They are designed for communicating to other researchers in the same field/niche.
