> Regardless, Dylan was brilliant and delight to talk to about almost any topic, and we kept in touch loosely through social media when he went back to school. He ended up interning at Flipboard, a company that happened to be founded by an engineer from Apple who co-taught CS 196P at Stanford with me, their first class on iPhone development. Dylan stayed close to the data science team at LinkedIn, and so we ended up with more than a few reasons to stay connected. I had left LinkedIn to take an EIR role at Greylock, so was just starting to become an active angel investor.
This is insane. This reality doesn't exist for >99% of people.
- strikelaserclaw 4y agoFrom reading about Dylan, seems like he came from a middle class background. Of course, where you start off is relative, and you can always go in extreme directions to discount the success of any person ("Oh he grew up in a house with lights, what a privilege etc...)
- ZephyrBlu 4y agoI’m not really commenting on Dylan in particular, moreso the situation. As someone outside the US this sort of thing could never happen.
