Shameless spoilers of secret commands:

    rm -rf *
    sudo rm -rf *
    business cat
    sudo make me a sandwich
    easter-egg
    shutdown
    sudo shutdown
    wizard

SoCal only, damn. If there were only interesting tech startups in the Midwest to intern with that had hackdays.

As others pointed out, we're in Northern California (thankfully!). We (and many other tech companies in the Bay Area) will take interns from out of state (as well as from Canada): unfortunately, not all will have an on-campus recruiting presence.

It's usually a mistake for a startup not to take college recruiting seriously or to focus only on Stanford (the point of ignoring other Bay Area Schools, not to mention East Coast schools). Quality of many Canadian schools (e.g., Waterloo) is also amazing.

I'll second that. I'm a student going to school and interning in central Iowa, but would drive to Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City, or Omaha for a weekend to hack on stuff.

NorCal, actually. But close enough :)

This

I really like the landing page they made for this event. Very creative and nerdy.

Am I the only one who typed "cd overview" instead of just "overview"?

I think the most impressive thing about it is that it had tab completion for the listed items.

yes, I typed "cd schedule" before typing just "schedule"

Hahaa... I just typed in "sudo make me a sandwich"

LOL LOL LOL "sudo rm -rf *"

That's a fun easter egg

haha nice was this a hackday project?

Yup
