Am I the only one who typed "cd overview" instead of just "overview"?
MatthewB
yes, I typed "cd schedule" before typing just "schedule"

I think the most impressive thing about it is that it had tab completion for the listed items.

I really like the landing page they made for this event. Very creative and nerdy.

SoCal only, damn. If there were only interesting tech startups in the Midwest to intern with that had hackdays.

NorCal, actually. But close enough :)

I'll second that. I'm a student going to school and interning in central Iowa, but would drive to Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City, or Omaha for a weekend to hack on stuff.

As others pointed out, we're in Northern California (thankfully!). We (and many other tech companies in the Bay Area) will take interns from out of state (as well as from Canada): unfortunately, not all will have an on-campus recruiting presence.

It's usually a mistake for a startup not to take college recruiting seriously or to focus only on Stanford (the point of ignoring other Bay Area Schools, not to mention East Coast schools). Quality of many Canadian schools (e.g., Waterloo) is also amazing.
