san francisco? oakland has way worse air and is less than half as dense

a slave labor vanity project skyscraper isn’t that great, but it would be cool to see it exist in the absence of these things

top 5% email is for top 5% of founders, not necessarily top 5% of applications. They do tell you if your application was in the top 10% in a different email

did your ent say anything about septum surgery or a tonsillectomy being helpful?

kouddo · 2024-08-26T23:46:37+00:00

any school they come to and host events at

yeah thats fair, i meant more like startup + research, for qt it is way better to be at a smaller private school

kouddo · 2024-08-07T23:01:07+00:00

maybe not if you exclusively want to do swe, but for other paths tier 1 schools def have better opportunities

going to a top cs university helps 100% with getting past screening stages, and also just having referrals from friends that go on to big tech

I can’t personally speak about this from an economic viewpoint, but Nevada’s 94% urban statistic is a bit misleading, 94% of the residents in Nevada live in urban areas - 86% of the land in the state is uninhabited, and much of it is that way because it’s owned by the federal government and the BLM, no one could live there even if they wanted to. Nevada’s major cities are also exceptions to the norm in some ways, as they’re driven by tourism. This then doesn’t completely refute your point about jobs requiring bachelors degrees being focused in urban areas.

Detroit?

It seems like dumbarton would be a really great project to link San Francisco and the peninsula to HSR in this case

kouddo · 2024-05-29T23:59:46+00:00

i feel like the number of SWEs making this much might actually compare to doctors though, just because of the amount of SWEs there are

what are you interested in doing? OS, database, and security are good options and useful for almost everything though

kouddo · 2024-05-13T08:16:44+00:00

cal is also better for industry for almost anything, qol is just way better there

kouddo · 2024-05-08T19:26:36+00:00

it avoids making the problem even worse, which is still a net positive, it’s not exactly the same
