Writing dissertation papers is such a painful process if you don't have any assistance like research assistants or data analysts. If you are a professor or a head of a research department/institute, congrats you can save a lot of time of doing the time consuming and boring job, which actually is 99% of research -- find data, write program codes, summaries literature ... The valuable 1% is the time of thinking the logic. For theoretical works, you still need to process a lot of data to justify whether the theory you are proposing is consistent with the historical records. For empirical works, data is almost everyday's life.
Anyway, my eyes become increasingly uncomfortable these days... but my programming skills is better.
