News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

This series was intended to be an expose' on the patterns of those that got in, some on first try, most on their subsequent attempts. Nothing more, nothing less.
No, they are never made public.
Who is "they"?
After applying myself and not getting in for the S19 batch, I decided to do some research.

What if I just reached out to the founders that actually did get in, and just straight up ask them the nitty gritty questions of how they did it?

So I proceeded to do exactly that.

3 months later, countless hours of interviews, transcribing, and editing, I'm finally done.

There are 12 interviews live now but will be adding a few more over the next couple of weeks.

For anyone applying to this next batch, I wish you the best of luck.

Really hope this helps!
