Awesome! Can't wait to try it out in a few months :)

hey Mark! how transparent do you want Fullstack to be? do you plan on disclosing graduation rates/standards and placement information?

don't count yourself out yet! art is expression, and i'd bet you are good at some form of self-expression, even if you don't really think of it that way.

This might sound hilarious, but I've always used Frank Ocean's Channel Orange as coding music.

i'd like to leave a quick note: i'm by no means a writer. CS is my discipline. i wrote this to better understand my own feelings about someone i know being diagnosed with cancer.

edit: posting here because maybe someone in the same position will find value in it.

What's great about Blue Origins long term is the frequency of launches. Blue Origins will be launching a rocket every day years before SpaceX will, because of obvious differences in rocket magnitude and mission.

There's a fair amount of boilerplate that comes with launching a rocket. From the command terminals (and associated IRL command structure) to the pod's parachute and rocket assisted landing , all components will be used and tested A LOT thanks to Blue Origins' strategy.

Assuming Blue Origins learns as much as possible and iterates on any sliver of weakness, we as a planet can be far more confident in the human carrying structures that are used to transport space-to-surface. SpaceX undeniably has more impactful and impressive rocket technology, but I'll always respect the lower level work Blue Origins is focusing on.

Space is really, really, really hard. Everyone wants to go up, I enjoy how much Blue Origins wants to come back down. :)

very functional

thanks!

This is awesome. Where can I learn more about YCR? That's the slice of YC I'm most excited about :)
