This request originated via recent discussions on HN, and the forming of HARC! at YC Research. I'll be around for most of the day today (though the early evening).

Hi Alan,

I'm a CS PhD student at Caltech. What advice do you have for young computer scientists, especially for PhD students?

A PhD program is very much about the context of forefront ideas and people. I lucked into one -- that got me to realize that this is what prospective grad students should be looking for.
