Recently cold-emailed @MatiksHQ for an internship as a high schooler.
Built a bot that bypassed part of their backend security and could be used to cheat on the platform. The CTO agreed to a call.
Called twice. Texted. Followed up.
Nothing. Their loss .
I was willing to work unpaid just to learn, build, and contribute.
Their inbox is full. Mine is open.

Notice that what I would not do is try to start a startup. Instead I'd build the foundation of knowledge to base a startup on later. Way better startup ideas would grow out of understanding LLMs deeply than trying to start companies based on what I knew at 17.
This is such a shitty thing to see as soon as I wake up today man. Literally lost one of my friends this morning, he was admitted in a hospital, and then I see people celebrating and hosting events in another hospital. I genuinely cannot understand the stupid shit people do just for clout and to act cool.
