📢 We offer grants of up to $7,000 to folks from groups that are underrepresented in programming who do a batch at RC. Tell your friends! recurse.com/diversity
💻 RC is free for everyone: our grants cover living/travel expenses that would prevent someone from attending.

This dream from the first post feels like @Seinfeld2000:
> Episode of Seinfeld where they test an aphrodisiac spray and show characters actually having sex on TV ("and it's hot"). The episode is so well known that it's a conversation starter with strangers
