went to 45+ hackathons before college and I never would have been a founder if it wasn’t for hackathons… I learned how to code, practiced pitching my ideas, and met some of my best friends. extremely bullish on hackathons early in your career
Hackathons are mostly a waste of time. Basically nothing created there goes on to become a success (with undoubtedly a handful of exceptions). If there’s value there, it’s merely introducing future co-founders to each other, with the hackathon being a selection filter.

Thiel’s lecture was a breathtaking tour-de-force. A must-see when the video is available. But this closing comment to a questioner was the kicker.

The Thiel Fellowship in 2011 was what inspired me, a high school sophomore, to chase building a product over stressing out about college admissions. It wasn't until 2017 — when I was approached by their team to see if I'd be interested in becoming a fellow. Capital aside, the…
