Not sure if the author of the blog post is around but I am curious how you applied for the week long stint. I approached these guys (prior to the name change I think) and didn&#x27;t get a clear answer for how one gets into the short-term residency program (my memory is fuzzy but I seem to recall they said it was invite-only at that time).<p>Wish there was something like this in the Bay area. We have cool communities like Hacker Dojo and meetups, but I quite like the idea of taking a week or two off from work and getting deeper into technical topics alongside other experienced developers.
