Use when drafting a PLDI author response inside the short February window — triaging reviewer objections about soundness, baselines, and benchmark validity, correcting factual errors with pointers into the submitted PDF, and committing to feasible revisions without promising new systems work.

# PLDI Author Response

PLDI 2026 gave authors a five-day response window, February 17-21, 2026, between
review delivery and the March 5 notification (dates from `pldi26.sigplan.org`,
read 2026-07-08; every cycle re-times this). The response is read by people who
build compilers and verifiers for a living: precision beats rhetoric, and a
pointer into your own submitted PDF beats a paragraph of reassurance.
