According to my Garmin watch, sex with my girlfriend gets my heart rate into mid 160s sometimes. I never get there by walking.

Connecting motivated talent in Africa with opportunities in Silicon Valley and Europe.
I’m an ex Palantir, Google Research, and Liftoff software/ML engineer, currently training poor and smart software engineering students at MIT of Ethiopia(Addis Ababa Institute of Technology), and connecting them with opportunities in Silicon Valley. The program is called A2SV.
A2SV is a 3-month interview preparation program that focuses on algorithms, data structures, problem-solving, communication skills, and personal development. For more information, please watch the trailer(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy00E8FklC0), check out the website(http://a2sv.org), and take a look at the progress sheet(https://bit.ly/327Pf4g).
The ask is simple: Interview these folks for summer software engineering internship positions at your company(or share with others in other companies in the valley or Europe). The inspiration these guys have is amazing and contagious, so the distance they'll go - or even make the team go - is likely greater than most others you can find locally.
