Today finds me returning to the Recurse Center (RC for short) for 6 weeks. I decided I should ressurect my old tech blog posts as I plan to attempt fairly frequent posts inspired by Julia Evans 2020 RC batch among others.
I first went to RC back in 2016 after leaving Google. Since then I’ve spent some time back in school first completing my BA in Anthropology at Wellesley College, and then starting a PhD in 2020 which I left December 2022 - academic job market in the humanities and the even worse than tech work/life balance of that career path were factors in that.
