The book "The Dream Machine" by M. Mitchell Waldrop was a great read if you're interested in learning more about the inspirations behind PARC itself. It covers the history of personal computing from the early 20th century to the end of the 20th century, and does a great job covering a lot of the personalities behind the tech that is so ubiquitous today.

Hi! I’m a college student currently taking a gap year. I’ve used Repl.it extensively both for coursework and during my internship this summer and I’m very passionate about your product and vision. I planned on working at the BigCo I worked at this summer for the next year, but recently I realized that I am a better fit for a scrappy, startup environment. I’d be honored to help out at Repl.it — is there any way for me to do so?

Hi Zack! I'm a college student taking a gap year next year. I have spend the past 3 months at my internship using the AWS Serverless technologies you mentioned in your post. I was planning on continuing to work at the BigCo I interned at for the next year, but I realized that a startup environment might be a better fit for my personality. I'm super excited about the work you do at Stedi -- if you have any opportunities that would allow me to help out in my somewhat unique position I would be honored to help.

A PhD in CS is the final result of a long series of opportunities which certain groups may/may not have equitable access to. e.g. an affordable undergraduate education, resources to support students throughout undergrad, a good high school/elementary/pre-k education, and so on.
