I mean, maybe I don't use it much, but it seems to do a really good job of filtering spam and I don't see much harassment. But it's hard to see opposing views unless you look hard enough for posts which are usually shut down by others. Also, the comments have to be approved by the author which does lead to echo chambers, but they seem to know this since their lawyer Ferrest said that "You shouldn't necessarily be kept safe from other people challenging your ideas."
It's also very SF-centric at times, especially with all the self-help posts, but it does do a good job at content discovery since I can get a wide range of topic from the tech industry through to social issues.
I don't know how they'll sell paywalls to users, though. I mean, the internet has a lot of blogs which are already free to see. Plus, I can use my Pocket recommended feature for diversity right?

As a sophomore, I'm looking for an internship over the summer to see what software engineering is like in the real world.
Shit. I've wasted enough time today, but YOLO. I have no idea what the purpose of this thing is like seriously? Why do I need this, I hope the author/screator is trying to get onto techcrunch in order to earn a whole lotta $$$ from YC< Senoqua and Andressen Hortolowolloiz? if thats a thing
Arf! I don't know why there is a wquaetion mark after hororloworitzs. I think its suopposed troo be andresson horowitzz but screw it, sounds like another rich guys name.
I have so manyu fucking grammatical and spelling wrrors that this shit aint worth it anynmore. I'm done, like seriously. I should be working on my blog but na..
ol I'm done with over thrree minuites to spair there, happy noe? I can only type at a pittiful 41 wpm which is super slow, but then again there was an optiob for a whole fucing hour
and now i'm looking at my grammarly extention and I apparantly have 36 fucing errors in this thing. No its 20. Damn, I'm dumn.See, I cant even spell dumb.
I guess I should reside(???) and go back to looking at this AAron fellow. He seems really interesting. It's sad how he got screwed over badly despite him contributing a lot ex
Otherwise, I agree with his points. Not sleeping for 24+ hours really takes its toll, especially if you need to drive back to where you came from. Food is mostly junk, but this one other hackathon I went to had really well-made food, so there's that. They have been unrewarded since I always lose steam before I get to make an MVP and they do seem to be very commercialized and they're really trying to get groundbreaking stuff from us within a weekend, like the last hackathon had very specific prizes relating to using certain company's API as well has performing "health innovations".
I also like Brian's suggestions to provide more specific hackathons so that I know exactly what to expect from them. These events take up a huge portion of my weekends theI should be using on school, so it seems like a good idea to pick those which seem most useful at the time.
Then again, software engineering has only been a thing for about 40-50 odd years and is young as compared to other professions, so I guess things will change.
The only issue is that c9 seems more suited for web development.

EDIT: Looks okay now 10 minutes later.
I read about how the biggest advantage to elite colleges is networking as opposed to the actual education, but then the network itself is really significant, like having investment firms as alumni as opposed to DevShop founders.
Is there a way for a student who isn't at an elite college to mimic the elite like network?
Also, the staff are much easier to get a hold of.
I don't know if this happens frequently, or I'm just lucky
