If I may ask, if you have two comparatively skilled/driven/smart workers for the same job, would you choose the one with the college degree? I do think there are a lot of people where college is not a value-add to their skillset,

Pretty interesting that according to him, Airbnb didn't really have a functioning testing infrastructure only a year ago. So you really can hit a billion dollars in valuation without testing :)

So here is some contrarian opinion: You don't need to go to college, but if you have time and money, I'd say do it. There is ample of evidence, that you don't need a degree to have a successful career, especially in the IT se

As I said, the question is how you escape the "local optimum" given that you are in it. Clearly neither parties have any interest in changing up the current electoral system.

IMO, most people hold the described political view of being leftie in social and rightie in economic questions. To me the biggest challenge/question is how we can escape the current "local optimum" we are in in which you have
