What Does It Mean To ‘Work The Waitlist’ as a Stanford Engineering Undergrad Taking E145

by Larry Chiang on May 15, 2017

By Larry Chiang
I went to an undergrad institution that required us to waitlist ourselves for office hours. 
You. You go to a college where Stanford professors provide you food so that you will visit them for office hours. Let me repeat, MS&E professors lure you to Huang with free food like supermodels posting instagrams woo you to #FyreFestival

Virtual. Reality. Simulate. Being. A. Stanford. Athlete. 

Athletes understand having to work the waitlist. Delve into my protocol #cs183waitlist if you’re in Engineering 145. Because stanford engineers who also hustle make the best tech founders. Because PG says so. Yes, Paul Graham from Lec 3; #stanford Engineering computer Science 183b “startup” (winter 2012)

Waitlist. The best talent comes from the margins as per Paul Graham, cofounder of The “yCombinator”
#UDFA
#cs183waitlist = signature Recipe! twitter.com/larrychiang/st…


There is a PG essay about talent in Silicon Valley and how it comes from marginalized places like the HP garage at 367 Addison (& also Huang)

8am. You know there will flakes! Be there at 7:35 with a bag of bagels from Bagelicious. Look for @ChassonRandle in RIHS parking lot

@ChassonRandle If I were a Rock Island, IL #cs183dad, I’d #cs183waitlist by showing up at 7:54am w my 5′ 10+” 7th grader and Tweet Chasson @ 755am #09Jun17 pic.twitter.com/yO7RKJBybv

Sara Blakely is my dog’s Instagram friend. She worked the waitlist by getting her product into Nordstrom’s.

She’s neither single nor taken. 
BJ Fogg. Before you succeed at protocol #cs183waitlist, you will have much emotional fear.

After success with #cs183waitlist. Hope rises. 
Call to action. Waitlist yourself and go from waitlist to VIP.

2008. Waitlisted myself for #StartupSchool. I got a bag of House of Bagel. Brought @paulg book. Waited at 7am at Dinklespiel #cs183waitlist pic.twitter.com/tX5700sd3R
