“Also one of the best ASIC guys I have ever worked with in the past 20 years is an SDSU grad.”

I totally agree that performance at work determines your career – one of my closest developer friends (because she is so awesome at work and as a person) got her degree from SDSU.

I do well at academic learning, but entrepreneurship is definitely a skill that I do not have the talent nor the courage for.

After graduating from UC Berkeley, I got my master’s degree from (much less prestigious) UC Santa Barbara. For some reason, UCSB doesn’t keep its computer labs open 24/7 – so I learned to ride my bicycle along the beach, watch sunsets, and LIVE, ha ha!
