Claude has partnerships with specific universities but not the one I attended. I don't believe there's a general student discount for Claude.

The advice I have as someone who also pushed boundaries is to be more creative next time. The school will hate you no matter what. But this project doesn't appeal to VCs because social networking isn't trendy anymore. Try doing so

If you're doing single-core builds, you will get impressive speedups from unity builds. This is because C++ compilers spends a lot of time redundantly parsing the same headers included in different .cpp files. Normally, you get enough
