The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q we can't make it to the 50% of the folks who are at HBS, um, know how to code, can we create a class where we grab people who do know how to code from elsewhere in Harvard? And that's like a required, um, ratio. Cause I, I do think that, man, it's really hard to meet people outside of class where you live and like the normal school activities.

A I, I think it's a great suggestion and there's definitely, A lot of that percolating at Harvard and at MIT, by the way. MIT does, I think, a better job of integrating technical people into the MBA program. What's happening at Harvard is the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences is physically moving across the river, across the Charles River to be co-located with the business school, and that's a multi-year project that's Been funded by folks like Steve Ballmer and John Paulson and others. A lot more social engagement as that opens up in 2019 and 20 20. In fact, I'm already seeing classes that hit exactly being considered by the business school that hit exactly what you're saying. I think He's taking classes at the MIT Media Lab. I love it because it shows that they're mingling with the engineers and with the visionaries and with the futurists, and I think we all know great startups and great ideas come from cross-pollination, and that's why the silo thing is so heartbreaking to me because we have so many Narrow lanes, and I don't know what you see geographically with the YC group, but I think if you're not in cities where you're seeing a lot of cross-pollination, It's a real, uh, disadvantage for those entrepreneurs.
