Waterloo
A mythical University in Canada where many good Engineers and Computer Scientists come from.
Sam: "Where are all these Canadians from?"
Matthew: "We hired 10 interns and 20 full-times from Waterloo. They get shit done because if we don't hire them, they'll have to work for Blackberry."

The state of perpetual notification pinging on each of your devices as a result of participating in way too many Slack channels.
Alice: Why did you need to take a mental health day yesterday?
Bob: Slack Overflow.

The title an asshole CEO (generally a sole founder) puts on their Linkedin title to show they have the ability to fire anybody.
Random dude: Where do you work?
Albert: I am at the greatest game company around called BigVikingGames
Random dude: Cool, what do you do there?
Albert: I am the janitor, I just take out the trash!
Random dude: cool story bro
timferris over 9 years agoWinter is coming
The fear of a major economic crash becoming imminent during times of relative prosperity.
Raise your VC money now. Any day this "bubble" may pop and it will be a cold winter indeed. A few unicorns will die and many will be seeking warmth in places they never even knew existed. Winter is coming.

@orien No what are you talking about
@SingleCommaClub It's similar to what you see from immigrants to a new country like US or Canada
I have a lot of friends from canada and waterloo and this seems really accurate from what i've heard
It's like a parallel universe of Silicon Valley where people speak American English...
@zazpowered aren't you from waterloo
@SingleCommaClub That's not true at all. Pretty much everyone I know from my graduating class got offers from US companies. A significant proportion of students choose to stay because the region is booming right now, and also the quality of life in Canada is pretty high.
@freefunctor toronto and canada are awesome
Have worked with a lot of engineers from Waterloo through internships and full time. Can honestly say they are very talented, but there is a bias because all the ones that make it to US companies are generally top notch.
I love this site!
