If you have any inklings whatsoever about wanting to apply to Hacker School, just reach out[0]. Dave and company are way cool and actually respond to requests in a timely manner. There was a 4 day, 5 at max, turn around time between when I emailed them and when I was on skype with Dave.<p>[0]<a href="http://www.hackruiter.com/registrations/new" rel="nofollow">http://www.hackruiter.com/registrations/new</a>
I know the feeling of being isolated as a programmer.
I have so many great and successful people that I would love to have as part of my startup however most of them don't have the skills that we need at this stage.
How experienced a programmer do you have to be in order to apply? I'm a CompSci student and coded some CRUD apps for my startup (Clojure and Python), but I'm not a open source contributor, nor am I active as a contributor on Github or SO.
