Am I missing something? What is the Medium post author's value add- it's just a recap of the original presentation. It says "deep dive" but it's just copied slides.

The original talk by Frank Chen was already excellent.

Harvey Mudd students seem to only have 9 actual majors to choose from, vs 100+ at some other colleges.

From previous comments by PG and others I think the gist of it is that college is a great place to work on interesting projects and meet potential co-founders (other students).

Startups tend to be all consuming, so it's hard to say that another full-time commitment like school could be an advantage. Unless you have a business that is taking off like a rocket ship, I would wait til after graduation.

Friendly advice, it would help to work on communicating more clearly and succinctly. I've read your comment twice and am still having trouble discerning a question.

All the best.

Think Python is pretty approachable for newcomers. It's also made available for free, and fwiw has a version for 2 and 3.
