i think people who argue "Snapchat will never be as big as Facebook" are just wasting their time. Who cares? Social experience feels more engaging. FB is better for "acquaintanceships", but Snapchat is better for friends

there are very... very few prodigies in this world who could've done it without strong mentorship. Mozart and Tiger Woods are both thought to be prodigies, but their parents were very involved in their developmental process.

People are too busy "playing boring politcian" on Facebook. But Reddit allows you to geek about certain topics without getting judged. If i make 50+ posts on FB about my favorite tv show on Facebook, i get called "obsessed&q

i would advise against meetup.com for most people depending on your city. It's filled with 45+ year year olds. Among the younger meetups, its going to 9 guys - 1 girl ratio. The guys are typically all out-of-shape and awkward nerdy typ

for millennials specifically in CS, i'd argue that things are better now any other time in history. Many are getting $125k+ salaries in the Bay and Seattle. Of course, not everyone will work for a Big N. Even still, getting a $70k+ off
