Larry Chiang encourages CS majors to optimize personal credit scores, FICO’s credit scoring system and game-the-entrepreneurship game. Why should you trust a supermodel at New York Fashion Week?! He studied engineering too. See the game plan of 63,030 other #cs183b students at Stanford (those include virtual students). See the e-f-f-o-r-t of months-and-months of sales and promotion work in NYC for, “What They Don’t Teach You At Stanford Business School”. It launched Wednesday, 09-09-09 [September 9, 2009]. It is a NY Times bestseller sequel, “What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School“.
Stanford Engineering heard a 3 minute keynote and brought Chiang in as EIR to teach, “#ENGR145″. Start up your CS major “Chief Revenue Officer” skills inside any Computer Science department by executing protocol, “#cs183s“. CS 183s is a sequel to#cs183b, #cs183 and#cs183c
New York Fashion Week will be Sept 9-19, 2016. — Larry Chiang CEO, Duck9 |

The old way was to ‘sell something before you code it’. It is coached if you’re around the Lean Product school of thought. Eric Ries, Steve Blank et al advocate it.
The newer way is to sell a DJ’d application protocol interface. Because whatever idea you have, someone has already thought of it*. In layman’s parlance: Sell something that already exists and maybe engineer up something barely special.
Selling a DJ’d API {aka a Sell an #externalAPI} CS 183s; Lec 15

Everything I advocate is legal, kinda counterintuitive, par-for-the-course normal in the highest circles of entrepreneurship. If you’re curious… read on my padawan.
