Side note, reply to myself, whatever this is called.
I see the author was at bwater prior to YC. Bridgewater and Y Combinator appear to have very different approaches to how they train young, ambitious people doing something new, and maybe also in how they teach ppl to be able to later on teach themselves.
A startup is very different from a hedge fund, but new founders and new HF employees tend to have a lot in common and there are a lot of similarities in what's asked of them. e.g. rethinking how they understand and solve problems
If the author reads this I would love to read and learn more about what you've seen as pros and cons of the different approaches to training you have had experience with. Or at least the pros ;)
Thanks again for all your insights.
