So, you say that in the laboratory you are not allowed to slee | Proxy and News

So, you say that in the laboratory you are not allowed to sleep and put things on the table, so somewhere there are people who constantly go and watch this?

Yes. They are cadets who are volunteers, they do not go all the time, but from time to time they look and help with questions, if help with some tasks, they should see how many hours you were sitting at the computer, this is also an important factor, since if people have tried very long, they can fix it.

They are called prefects, they are volunteers-cadets, who are there to monitor everything. All this takes place in a game form, they always compete among themselves.

And there they clap all the time, for any occasion. I like to sleep and sometimes wake up late, while all three of my neighbors go to the lab. I was always the last, I had dinner, and only then I went. Somehow she came to the laboratory, someone says "Oh, well done, Naz!" And started to clap, then all the others joined. When I asked them what had happened, they said that this time I just came early (laughs).

Did you say that you can take a day off? What is the system there?

There is no system. I did my own time off. Due to the fact that I already had experience, it was a little easier for me. So I could afford to sleep longer, rest. And since people there were engaged in 24 to 7. If we were on the same level, they would simply break through. They are so charged people, which I have not met before.

And were there people who are close to the age limit of 45 years?

Yes, there were. I know exactly one forty-year-old.

I ask this because interviews will be read by people older than you who have families, and that they do not think that the school is only for the young.

There were even people with children. I saw both cases - when the wife is studying, and the husband and children are leaving, or the husband is studying, and the wife and children are leaving. They are also provided with a hostel, but they do not want to live there. They probably live somewhere nearby and go to school only to study.

The school hosts events, workshops from various companies, students and themselves like to organize various entertainments. Basically, these events are not for "poolers", but for those who are already studying there. Therefore, I can not say with certainty what is there and how. But in the end for us staged a cool barbecue party.

Accelerator startups in the school "42"

And I'll tell you about one thing that very few people know about. It's called Rabbit Cloud. This is such an accelerator for startups. And the whole joke is that not only does the school give a free hostel, free training, food at very low prices, so it also gives access to the Rabbit Cloud.

You come to Rabbit Cloud and say that you have an idea for a startup. They can accept or reject it. But usually those who are "accepted", they can sponsor.

If, for example, your project is associated with PR, they buy everything for you at your own expense and do not take anything into the share and in return. If you need to take any exams all the time to stay in the hostel, then if you pass the Rabbit Cloud, then you are released from these lessons, and you are only engaged in your start-up and can live for free.

All the student's privileges remain, but only you work on your startup and in parallel can apply to other accelerators.

And from when can you submit to Rabbit Cloud?

There's no exact time and rules. I know the guys who submitted from the seventh level. As long as you do not pass to this level, it is unlikely that you will have any deep knowledge. After all, there are people who came with zero knowledge. In the "pool" they look at how much you teach. Therefore, there you can and not be a programmer.

Life after the "pool" "42"

What happens after the "pool"?

Somewhere in a week they send letters to everyone who successfully passed the "pool" and entered the school "42".
