Agreed, there many good positions for new college grads. I don't think there is any better location than SV when starting a software engineering career. While housing prices are quite high, working in technology you are certainly able

I enjoy the open floor plan as well. The ease in which I can have conversations with my manager (assuming they are sitting near to me) is probably the biggest benefit. I feel this makes me more productive since more impromptu conversations

Apply to CS grad schools. See if you can work with any researchers or professors that will lead to publishable work. Read through their papers so you can see what they are working on and try contact a few people that have the same interests

Don't be fooled by the title. This is quite a good article about some of Google's early key engineers.

“A quarter of all undergraduates and more than 50% of graduate students [at Stanford] are engineering majors." I can attest Stanford really feels like a tech school in disguise, especially at the graduate level.

Ditto for me as non-Mac user as well. One neat feature might be to detect which operating system you use and display the appropriate shortcuts.

Agreed, insightful comment. Many people seem to fall into their current career path. I've also been following Cal Newport's blog lately and talks lot about the "follow your passion" advice. For him, that really means one has "to construct

Very nice! I just discovered the talk and demo today. I noticed though that the rendering of the editor seems to vary across web browsers. The figure looks smaller and is positioned in the top-left in Firefox. But it's centered and looks ot

There's HackersAndFounders.com, HackerDojo.com and a few others. Haven't been to that many events actually. I know a lot of startups coming out of Stanford though. Feel free to email me (contact info's in my profile) and I can put in you to

Try Wubi ( http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer ). Then you can simply choose between Ubunutu (for Rails development) or Windows (for everything else) during the boot up.

cgh, are there many software consulting companies around? I've been thinking of going that route myself, so I'm curious how you find them.

Can't agree with this more. It's like trying to make a movie in Hollywood vs. everywhere else. Also, teach yourself to code if you can or take an intro CS course.

Move to Silicon Valley. Seriously. I started reading Hacker News last year as well and decided back in September to leave my job and move here. Definitely a big decision but I don't regret it. The demand for engineers here far exceeds the s
