This is why people love working for Elon Musk.

Anyone can raise problem with him & he will fix it directly.

Remember porn on the web or spam on email?

HN's hate for crypto is hilarious.

Coinbase and Stripe are not startups. They are institutions.

The hacker houses here are still rammed to the gills.

The force is strong with this Jedi.

I am so glad I was accepted to RC. It had a huge impact on my life. Although I was one of the least experienced programmers in my batch, the staff and fellow students made me feel very welcome. My goal was to learn how to make iPhone apps. Here are some highlights:

- A faculty member taught himself Objective-C to help me along.

- Several other students were extremely kind with their time.

- I learnt that even experienced programmers struggle through the debugging process, it’s just that they would find the cause of the problem in a minute and I would take an hour. That was reassuring.

- I paired for the first time.

- I made a bunch of new friends who are now scattered all over the world doing lots of interesting things.

- We played lots of poker and got to see each other in a different environment (for science!).

- RC gave me the confidence to keep plugging away at programming. It showed me that everyone has to keep learning. It taught me a frame of mind which I now apply to all programming problems.

I am forever grateful to the founders and faculty for creating the Recurse Center.

Really enjoying this. Tiny typo: andd -> and

This seems a little blunt and obnoxious. Ryan is trying to help people get their products out there. I'm sure he has a lot of inbound email and may struggle to reply to everyone.
