Bloody hell,one piece of advice-don't ever use "bloody good" or any other phrase with the word bloody in it.That's the real world,not a Harry Potter movie.Good luck!
Hey,latch,you seem to want to pay top programmers with noodles.How do you want this to work out?HK does have 2 of the top colleges in the world for CS,so I do believe there should be some people,that would be interested in startups.But maybe the problem is in the startups,in which those people may not see enough value or prospects.
Would you mind sharing which in Europe are those?Because I've read quite a lot of founder stories and the only college I'd put on that list is Stanford.UIUC also seems to have a lot of tech entrepreneur and VC alumni.
Then what do you suggest wantrepreneurs should study,if anything?I think this argument whether CS school is useless has been debated far too much.I do see value in developing the way of thinking and surrounding yourself with top people,considering you do manage to get in a top college.And this whole debate about the very high prices of the colleges is ridiculous,because even for a person coming from a really poor family like me,there are enough possibilities to get free or very cheap education in most of the world's top 20 CS schools,if they do believe you're worthy enough candidate.
