Check out the Recurse Center. Their sessions are normally about 3 or 4 months. I am not an alum, but I think you could meet some good people, learn from them, and maybe get some good career perspective. It is free but you would have to find a place to live in NYC.
- jraines 10y agoIs there anything like RC in the Bay Area? Kind of hard to believe if not.
- liamgriffiths 10y agoI would second this - I participated when I took some time off after a number of years of working. My goal was similar to yours too. The environment and community is wonderful for learning and gaining new perspectives. I loved it.
- tomca32 10y agoThis is a great advice. Recurse center (former Hacker School) is a great way to spend 3 months and will get you exposed to so many different fields of our industry. In my batch, there were people making lisp interpreters, robotics, toy operating systems, solving project euler, etc. They also have a lot of great residents, people who come in for a week to hang out, give talks and workshops, such as: Peter Norvig and Evan Czaplicki. If you want to spend 3 months making yourself a better programmer/engineer, Recurse Center is one of the best places to do that.
