What’s GSAP?

The AEPs were originally based off Google AIPs, but we did a hard fork and have altered a lot since then. For one thing, the AIPs were entirely protobuf focused, while we're focusing equally on protobuf + OpenAPI.

The CRUD methods are great examples where we deviate from the AIPs.

I'm not convinced that any of these are solving API design problems.

AEP began its life as a fork of AIP! We’ve got a bunch of ex-Google folks on the project, including the former API Lead at Google.

I’ll make a plug for aep.dev, which is a collection of API design best practices and assorted tooling

Grades aren’t terribly important. Some companies (including notable ones) will filter those with lower than a certain GPA, but there’s always ways around that.

If you don’t have good grades, rely on your school name. If your school isn’t notable, projects are key.

These are the same kinds of communities are just being ravaged by brain drain. Their brightest students And their college graduates are being driven out of town from lack of opportunity.

Those are the people who businesses want to hire. Instead, Youngstown’s best chances of a brighter future are moving to Columbus nearby or the coasts to places that already have plenty of advantages.

Remote work could change this. But, these types of communities really need to embrace white-collar workers and not keep praying for a blue-collar comeback.

A lot of it has to do with credentialing. MOOC credentials aren’t worth the time investment.

It's really cool to see a unicorn come out of Detroit. The area isn't known for tech, despite having the largest concentration of engineers in the country. Hopefully, more startups like StockX and Duo Security will shine light on the area as a tech hub.

That seems very unusual for a low CoL city. It seems like there's an unbelievably large gulf between high + low CoL cities (far more than CoL would account for)

This is also responsible for geographic inequality throughout the country.

The large tech companies are based out of Silicon Valley and Seattle. The majority of their employees and economic activity will be in those areas.

I feel like this potentially buried the lede. Apple is planning on opening up a new campus in the USA.

I feel like Amazon's HQ2 search is going to open the floodgates for tech companies asking for public incentives. Tech companies in the Bay Area have been creating tens of thousands of jobs for years without asking for much publicly. Expect that to change now.
