If you’re YC and do not know, “d.t.t.d.s.”, just punch yourself in the dick while nicking half a berry. (If you’re a YC female, you don’t need to punch anyone bc your fear of “imposter syndrome” had yourself probably overprepparing by reading PG’s https://www.paulgraham.com/ds.htm 10x)
Promotion. (eg sales skills)

[puInternship2 was designed to help Cambridge and 94305 kids practice promotion]. 7, 7 hour pop up internships install the Larry Chiang sales brain inside your brain like Neo in The Matrix. The 7 internships are in my Twitter feed

No matter how smart u R, Palo Alto and Cambridge, you’re gonna need to “trade show” #puInternship1ggg #puInternship2 steveblank.com/2009/05/21/tra…

Steve Blank as in Professor Steve Blank. He taught ENGR145, Engineering 245 and entrepreneurship at Cal (class number needed). Yup, trade shows steveblank.com.
Work the trade shows as if they’re a CS class with a bell curve. If you go to a school that gives all As and Bs, the bell curve implies what a B+ means at Stanford: You suck 😉

The truly Lean are at the unofficial @leanstartup Conference afterparty at Interval Cafe #leanstartup
|

The unofficial @leanstartup Conference afterparty is a pattern I recommend that you pattern iterate. Here is why:
– You can’t fail when you promote an afterparty at a cafe.
– You will get press when you produce an afterparty.
– You will maybe get Wall Street Journal coverage.
– Doing an afterparty helps you get distribution
– Hosting helps you as a CS major outflank econ majors and hustle harder
– Afterparties with tap water and coffee ARE ALL UPSIDE
It’s good on toast.
