It's because we wanted our team to be aware that we'd have this intention so we don't miss out! If someone leaves PostHog voluntarily to start a new company (i) that's sad for us but is a pretty cool reason to leave and (ii) if we were willing to employ them, we'd be willing to invest in them more.

There are some pieces of missing context I guess. Primarily that we're small still (30 people) so we tend to hire a lot of ex founder / generalist type people (and most are technical) who'd be quite well suited as founders.

One thing I will do is add a more detailed handbook entry to create more clarity around this benefit. Issue made (https://github.com/PostHog/posthog.com/issues/4013)!

OP's calculator is just using open source data from Gitlab. In it's data, New Jersey:

Something else I found is that the modules I dreaded the most and certainly wouldn't have opted into had they been optional were the ones I learned the most from. Who knew that an Interaction Design class would be so relevant for doing customer discovery in a startup.

- No doubt that you can also have an income while studying.

- Pick up an internship to learn from experienced software engineers.

- The life experience is something I'll miss dearly, be it sports, socialising, dipping into the startup culture (We have an on campus accelerator).

- I stress more about turning down jobs than worrying about not having one.

If you have access to a quality CS degree that doesn't cost you a kidney then go for it.
