Side note, the instructor of that course, Chip Huyen, is nothing short of brilliant.
Born in Vietnam, at 18 she decided not to go to college, and went traveling with an empty pocket around the world and wrote books. I heard about her getting accepted in many tip-top schools and chose to go to Stanford 4-5 years ago at 22-23 year old.
So seems like she is still an undergrad/master student in Stanford or something right now, and she is already teaching a course. Definitely going to go far.
- shshhdhs 10y agoThat's really cool. I wonder what the admission process looked like for her.
- jimmies 10y agoStill had to do the SAT and went through the admission process. She had a lot of publicity in Vietnam at that point, and the rumor was that she had some god-tier percentile on the SAT score, too. I don't think that was very hard for Stanford to recognize that they have some good stuff.
