Ask HN: Hacker School for SF?

7 pointsby CesareBorgia14 anni fa3 comments

Last week, my brother (also a dev) said, "Hacker School sounds amazing. I wish there was something like that in SF."

Why not?

Let's do it:

20 great hackers in a room together for 8 weeks, full time. Build together and learn together. Pairing & TDD strongly encouraged. It's free; we help you find a job, and take a recruiting fee from the company if it works out.

Interested?

I'd love this, though I'd have to move to SF first, which is something I want to do anyway. My question about these hacker schools is how you pay the bills in the meantime? I mean, it's full-time, which presumably means you don't really have time for another full-time job on top of it. Or am I just missing something about how these work?

Yeah, generally you don't have time for a full-time job on top. The idea is to save up what you can before the hacker school. Part time consulting gigs during the hacker school may also be an option.

was just going to post, asking if something like this existed.
