Not sure if the author of the blog post is around but I am curious how you applied for the week long stint. I approached these guys (prior to the name change I think) and didn't get a clear answer for how one gets into the short-term residency program (my memory is fuzzy but I seem to recall they said it was invite-only at that time). Wish there was something like this in the Bay area. We have cool communities like Hacker Dojo and meetups, but I quite like the idea of taking a week or two off from work and getting deeper into technical topics alongside other experienced developers.

(RC cofounder here.) Sorry to hear our previous answer wasn't clear. Yes, residencies are an invite-only thing, however, everyone is welcome to apply to attend RC :) We recently updated our User's Manual (see: https://www.recurse.com/manual#sec-residents https://www.recurse.com/manual#sec-residents) with more info about residents, including what we look for and that they're selected via invitation (typically after being suggested by current members of our community). I hope this helps!
