So @JohnFabianWitt argues in @TheAtlantic that colleges should be open and unembarrassed about admitting students b/c they're children of wealthy alums/donors. Because it funds research! He says let's just drop the "best people" thing.

A well scoped take home assignment can feel like a mini side project: demonstrates ability to build, make technical decisions, and package things up neatly.
tweet-sized advice for folks looking to get into product engineering:
on my team, the hiring managers look for experience building things. side projects can go a long way if you're not writing code or building products as part of your day job!

The @headlightlabs team has been working out of @youralley since June and loving it. Their team just launched a series on founders who have left the corporate life behind. Read my interview with @kayraus exclusively here: bit.ly/2LZuJJv – at Manhattan, NY
