  • 20 years of religiosity. (Oof!)
  • Quitting programming after 1 yr due to boredom.
  • Not studying math and science early (because: religiosity).
  • Going to college.
  • Not moving to the Bay Area at age 18.

What would you have done? How would you have moved to the Bay Area at age 18, and what would you have done for work without a college degree? Not skeptical; just wondering what your specific plan would have been.

Programming. Interning various places. Even just working at Walgreens, so long as it was in the Bay Area so I could encounter in person the important memes of startup culture + rationality culture.
