I don't know if it's just incompetence, kick-backs, or findom, but this is one of the worst misallocations of resources I've seen up close after years in startups. No risky bets, just bad decisions.

NYC's public college system paid Oracle ~$600M to build our course management portal. It's built on top of Oracle's PeopleSoft suite, which they refused to customize without an extra $400M (to hit $1B). New Yorkers got the image below and pay $5M+ / year for *hosting*.

- Aayush for some badass reverse engineering and taking us to the caves. - Raffi for sharing my first Sephardic Rosh Hashanah seder with me. - Marley + Raffi both for their persistent attentiveness and eclectically contributing to every part of the project. - Everyone for the joy

- Stephen graciously let me practice my barber skills on him and subjected himself to our grueling experiments. - Stephen, Michelle, and Anna were great to work with on data collection, analysis, and banging our heads on failing sanity tests

- Tomography Tom more than lived up to his famous name. His diet was an inspiration: - Jonathan and Paul were amazing to work with and get to know. Kind, thoughtful people and cracked ML scientists

I’m lucky for all the friendships that bloomed from this amazing experience. Raffi and Marley did an amazing job organizing the house, not to mention:. - energy of Grace, Michel, Fiona designing circuits and sourcing hardware 15 hours a day was exhilarating
