Honestly, if you’re in tech and not doing hackathons, you’re leaving so much money on the table. I’ve won $6K in cash + over $100K in credits from just 2 out of 3 hackathons I joined so far Now I'm joining another virtual hackathon this Saturday. Let's build and win some $$$

i feel like you should only live in SF for 3 months at a time, then leave for a bit and come back. just to step out of the bubble and stay in touch with reality every now and then. just came to seattle and nobody’s building voice agents here lmao

Got this email from Founders Inc, and it hit me. I’ve been wanting to move to SF for so long. But I can’t just keep waiting for it to happen. I have to make it happen. So I’ve figured out a way to stay there for two months. No idea what comes after, but I’m taking the leap.
