| The problem is that in order to spend time at the Recurse Center, you first have to spend time at the Recurse Center. |

| right now, the opportunity cost is probably as high as it's ever been (unrelated, but same also applies to people considering business school etc). What got you looking into it? |

| ▲ | fragmede 5 days ago | parent [-] | | In the sense that you have to take a month off the rest of your life to go there. What about my job and my friends and my family and my house? Those don't stop existing and happening, and leaving them for a month is too difficult for people who just aren't committed enough. It's a decent filter/gatekeep for "who actually cares enough to do this?" |
