@Dr_JS_Cascone @HolmdelHS @Carenmac Great video! I moved recently in the area and I would love to hear more about the computer science program, and also helping out / volunteering by meeting teachers or students to discuss the topic.

Interesting thread about the hiring trends in high tech with a distributed teams culture consolidating month after month.

In Q1 2019, 39% of Stripe's hiring was outside Bay Area and Seattle. Last quarter, it was 74%. I think the rate at which tech industry is going global is still under-appreciated, and that this will be a big tailwind for the world over the next decade.

America has always been at its best when we pull together in common cause. The challenges we face will require sacrifice, but we all have a responsibility to do everything we can to keep one another safe. If you don’t absolutely need to leave home—don’t.
