- zck 15y agoHow does it compare to s2010? I wonder if there are more applications for summer, because you can apply for after graduation, rather than in the middle of the school year.

- sid_g 15y agoDoes this also make the startup bubble a little bigger? I mean there are quite a few now Dreamit hackny. Not that these are not good. Both have produced great companies, but as more people invest and hop on the startup bus what will happen?
