@julianlewo @claudeai Congratulations !!! Patch alumni never fail to impress 🔥

[Julian Lewandowski @julianlewo]

yesterday we ran a @joinpatch_ x @FormulaTrinity cadathon, and it was pretty sick

- 50+ cad hackers, 2 hrs of modelling mounting solutions for a sensor attaching to the FT car chassis
- a call with @colm_o_brien mid-testing underwater robots at lake tahoe
- first time judging at a hackathon (building up the o1 portfolio 🙌)
- after 4 years of running a cad club + workshops back in secondary school, it was pretty awesome to see people moving at such fast pace
- moral of the story? cadathons are pretty cool and underrated. we should have more of them!

Expect very honest answers on:

• how to get started properly (idea → co-founder)
• whether The Bridge is a fit for you
• building between Dublin & San Francisco
• getting your first customers
• the mistakes that end most startups before they start

[Patch @joinpatch_]

@patrickc It was brilliant for our fellows to meet you today. At Patch, we find ambitious young people from across Ireland who have the potential to build great things. We’d love for that to be in Ireland but really, our mission is to help them follow their ambitions wherever they lead.🇮🇪

[Patch @joinpatch_]

Our SF Fellowship had a fantastic lunch with Patrick today.

[Patrick Collison @patrickc]

Today I had lunch with twelve young Irish people -- a wonderful bunch in their early 20s working on rockets, biotech, software/AI, etc. I enquired about whether any were planning on leaving Ireland over the next 3 years. All hands but one went up. I asked the holdout why he was staying; he clarified that he was also going to leave, just not in the next three years.

Mobility is a wonderful thing, but it feels worrisome if everyone in such a group concludes that they ought to emigrate.

This desire seems to generalize. A 2023 study suggested that more young people want to leave Ireland than any other EU country.
