This was one of the biggest reasons for me.

I’m starting university the 6th of September and I already had bad vibes from my teacher lol.

She sent a mail with all our emails in the list (instead of a hidden CC). In this mail, she told us we were expected to attend the introductory sessions to teach us how the campus work, etc…

She couldn’t help but say that those who wouldn’t attend would be immediately “terminated”. Not one day in and I’m already living through the high school dogmatic, authoritarian shit lmao.

I feel your pain.

Experimenting with Hubs & Go — Trying to find the time to organize the next TTRPG session.

Have a kiwi 🥝 btw!

After convincing my parents to drop out of my computer science degree, I built up a small portfolio of projects by teaming up with people during online hackathons like @ethglobal, @ethdenver and @gitcoin. Got a really good feel what it’s like to work remotely with a designer and two backend devs for several weeks in a row. I found that the events also served as great time-boxed scenarios for testing different frontend tools and quickly discovering what stack I would/wouldn’t be comfortable executing with in a real job.

A few months later I applied to and got hired at /dydx as their youngest-ever team member (21). I remember telling @evwho in an interview that I had just come from a hackathon judging session earlier that day. The founder Antonio noted my hackathon projects were a “pretty strong signal.”

How did you commit to dropping out? Like… I have skills, I’m convinced I can bring something to a development team but I don’t really know where to start lol
