Do you have any interests/hobbies outside of CS? There's probably clubs for every interest you can think of at your college. Even if you don't have any strong interests, just be open to try different things. Some people here suggested reddit, secondlife, and online gaming - you have the rest of your life for that but your college years will go by before you know it so really take advantage of what your school has to offer first. I was extremely introverted in college as well so i can definitely relate, happy to talk more, contact info is in my profile.

Simply deleting the article doesn't erase it from the internet. If the content is really that important people who want it badly enough can still find it in archives and old database dumps.

You can't give 10x or 1/10 labels without context. If you ask a smart developer to code in a brand new language, he'll look like a 1/10 developer for a while; and an average developer can look like a 10x developer if he's working with technology that he's been using for the past 10 years.

I've worked at a global investment bank in the past and have a somewhat different view. We had control over what language/tools to use per project (as much freedom as any startup) and it was definitely not subject to fed regulation. During my time there I was frequently contacted by recruiters from great tech firms such as google. Any company that knows how to recruit will look at what you've learned and what you've accomplished and not prejudice you simply for having worked at a financial firm.

If you feel you're not progressing as much skill-wise (which can happen at any job/industry), you can try to move to a different team within the company as many people do. The important thing is to keep learning so you can find things you are interested in.

This article reminded me of this TED talk (http://www.ted.com/talks/kathryn_schulz_don_t_regret_regret....). The takeaway was we all make mistakes and we should feel regret when things go wrong, but we should learn from those mistakes instead of hating ourselves for having regrets.

These "bubble" comments may become self-fulfilling. Even if there's no substance behind the claims, enough talk of a possible bubble can shift investor and consumer mentality and end up causing a bubble down the line.
