I wish there was a job and kids version of the Fellowship.
Make it 12-16 weeks, and allow founders to keep their day jobs. I am in Georgia Tech OMSCS right now and people put 30-40 hours a week into that and keep their day job.
It would be very encouraging to be able to test out one of my ideas for a semester but the work load these guys talk about in the article is pretty crazy. Is the expectation of the Fellowship that the founders are putting in 12+ hour days for 8 straight weeks?
