Hi all, "If you are a college (or high school student) reading this, I would like to give you one piece of advice. Get involved in an open source project. It will be the best choice of your life. Even the world's best computer science schools are very bad at teaching you what you really need to know to get work done. CS classes teach theory, not how to write good code. Hacking on open source software is the best way to be a smart programmer. Open source projects are more than happy to take on a dedicated hacker, even one who makes mistakes at first. Hacking will be the best decision you ever made. Your chances of getting an internship are greatly increased by working on OSS."
