I’m hiring an intern to work with me this summer a16z crypto Biased toward technical exp (ongoing CS degree is fine), 1+ internship exp @ tech co/startup, deep philosophical alignment w/ crypto. US-based remote is ok Pls send resume & why you like web3 to [email protected]

I haven't met anyone that took a gap year(s) in college and regretted it. For me, undoubtedly was one of the best decisions of my life. So effective to have a year of the "real world" then go back to school with a new perspective. Really wish there wasn't a stigma around it.

Seeing how common it is for projects to have drop/minting issues is a constant reminder of how early everything is. Devs are getting better, infrastructure is constantly being tweaked and improved, and the community as a whole is learning. As always, best time to jump in is now😉

My scalding take of the day: Not at all considering environmental impact, genuinely enjoy using paper straws more than plastic🤷🏽‍♂️

Last exam of my undergrad career✅ One paper to finish then I’m (finally) done😤

LA needs it's own tech week

Exciting time to be a freshly minted LA resident!!😎🎉🎉

LA tech week was such an amazing time, great to meet so many people and feel the excitement surrounding LA tech. Huge props to all the companies and individuals that help put on a great week. Special thanks to Katia Ameri for spearheading the whole thing! Pumped for next year🤙🏽

Cons of post-tech week vibes: overwhelming amount of unsaved numbers, intense hangxiety, super low energy Pros: my best Oura sleep score ever😎

Being a great Googler is by far the most important, yet deceptively hard to master, skill of a dev. Knowing how to “speak” the algorithms language and use advanced search techniques to get the results you’re looking for is vital and can save you literally hours everyday.

Legally, @SkipProtocol was born 2 months ago. But for me, it's the culmination of years of friendship and collaboration with @0xmagmar I couldn’t be more grateful to the investors who have given us the opportunity to work on these problems or more excited for the road ahead

fyi

Many FAANG employees want to join start-ups but are overwhelmed by the space, so I've decided to help. Over 2 days, I've collected dozens of resumes from disgruntled FAANG employees eagerly looking for start-up roles. If you're looking for talented SWEs, DEs, PMs, etc., DM me!
