I enjoyed the article. I really like the passage where it said:
"The Stanford Illustrated Review, a precursor of Stanford magazine, appealed to alumni for help in employing recent graduates. “These men and women . . . face a far harder and down-at-heel world than that which welcomed you.”"
While we can complain for years about the heritage our parent generation have left us - education cost, housing prices, healthcare, or a struggling economy - without seeing things change, we are responsible to pave the way and make it better for the generation to come.
- Bahamut 12y agoI feel like anyone who genuinely cares about those who face hardships and put in a full effort in changing their life for the better deserves whatever help we can give them. I'm sure many people's lives of those who read HN are littered with examples of people giving them an edge that helped contribute to their success. Me personally, I have much to be thankful for with friends taking me in when homeless and people giving me a shot at a career without much experience. I try to help those I see make good efforts at starting a career, and for those who want to enter the world of software engineering, I tutor them for free and point them to resources that would assist in their independent study.
