I am not sure how familiar you are with the Thiel fellowship but the application process is designed to make sure that applicants think twice about what they want to accomplish. You can't realistically get accepted without convincing the admission committee that you are not this kind of person.

If she made it to the fellowship she must have lied on her intentions to be an Entrepreneur. Don't be naive.

She gamed the system, fair enough. Let's just not pretend that all of this happened by chance and that she did not know what was going on.

> The 5% of the interesting work is usually incredibly difficult and requires real skills (i.e. some sort of cv/dist-systems/PL skills) that can't be casually acquired without serious commitment. The people who do these jobs are either undergrads who worked incredibly hard to pick up these skills or phd's.

Can you elaborate? I am an undergrad and this sounds incredibly interesting. What are those skills? How do you pick up them?

I am little sad that she choose to accept her fellowship just for the sake of doing a startup. She probably took the spot of someone really interested in making a difference rather than hanging out at mundane events, branding yourself as "thiel fellow and startup CEO".

Good luck to her but that kind of people make me sick to my stomach.
