have 1-2 more seats at a small rooftop founder dinner i'm co-hosting tomorrow...who wants to come?

oh you went to Harvard? sorry we only hire waterloo and Fractal Tech grads
we charge for recruiting, education, and coworking, but the golden age is on the house
15 soon to be cracked engineers are landing in Williamsburg tomorrow turns out golden age is simple math import talent + train talent = golden age
