Joshua Achiam ✓ @jachiam0 · 2h There's a group of three pieces of writing that happen to form, in my view, a very tidy cultural introduction to modern Silicon Valley. "Crystal Nights," by Greg Egan; "Meditations on Moloch," by Scott Alexander, and "Maker's Schedule, Manager's Schedule," by Paul Graham.

↻ Ivan reposted David @DavidSHolz How to find a job in Silicon Valley: 1) Ask yourself which companies have missions that you're most passionate about 2) Think about how you can help 3) Do a few projects that show you can help (ie: coding, design, marketing concepts, educational blogposts, documentation, as long as it's relevant to the work / mission / company) 4) Reach out to the founders or senior employees directly (not via recruiting channels) and say "I'm passionate about your mission X for Y reasons. I think I can help by doing Z. Here are some projects that show I can do it." If it doesn't work out, don't be discouraged. Ask for feedback. Reach out to more companies and founders that you're passionate about helping. Do more projects that show off your strengths. You'll make it. You don't need an education or resume for any of this. Your projects, determination, and research are your education + resume. 12:49 PM · Jan 25, 2025 · 213.5K Views
