We're making a relatively large platform shift at Opendoor right now and some of our RnD teams are working two 12 hour shifts with hand offs between them. So as one set of engineers goes to bed, the other set picks up the work. Sun shall never set on shipping!

Too many companies care more about themselves than their users. Today, we are making Opendoor available to all homeowners, including the ones that want to work with agents. Launching Opendoor 2.0 for Agents, first with @RealScout.

Universities had 17 years of warning. They responded by doing the opposite of what the math demanded. In 2008, American birth rates fell off a cliff. The Great Recession made people stop having kids. Those never-born children would be turning 18 right now. The number of U.S. high school graduates peaked at roughly 3.9 million in 2025. By 2029, that number drops 15%. By 2041, it drops by nearly half a million students per year. Every school in this tweet had access to the same Census data. They all saw the same curve. Administrative positions at U.S. colleges grew 60% between 1993 and 2009, ten times the rate of tenured faculty growth. Non-instructional spending (student services, administration) grew 29% from 2010 to 2018. Instructional spending grew 17%. Average tuition at public four-year schools went from $3,500 in 2000 to $10,560 in 2023. Yale now has more administrators than undergraduate students. 5,460 administrators for fewer than 5,000 undergrads. They built the cost structure of a growth company on top of a customer base that was mathematically guaranteed to shrink. The split in this data tells you everything. Clemson, Syracuse, Duke, UNC, and Indiana are all cutting because the model broke. Alabama, Ole Miss, and the University of Florida are turning away more applicants than ever. Harvard gets five applications for every spot. The middle is where the cliff hits. Elite schools absorb demand. Everyone between elite and community college fights over a shrinking pool. The Fed published a study in December 2024 predicting 80 colleges will close in the next five years. Since 2016, over 100 already have. In 2024 alone, 28 shut down. One per week. These program cuts and layoffs are a decade late. The birth rate data was sitting in Census spreadsheets the entire time. Everyone in higher education administration saw the enrollment cliff coming. They hired more administrators anyway.

Clemson is $1.5B in debt. Syracuse is closing or pausing 93 programs, UNC-Chapel Hill plans to cut spending by $89M over 3 years. Duke recently let 600 employees go in a $350M budget cut. Indiana public colleges announced a plan to eliminate or merge 580 programs statewide.

@prettyjson @tunguz All the smart kids go to the elite universities where these post-modernists fill their heads with poison. Then these kids join the media, academia, tech, etc, taking this poison with them.

People outside of academia have no idea how far left that whole institution has drifted. These are not your average left-wing coworkers in other professional domains. I know a lot of old professors who used to be typical 1960s "radicals" who are downright conservative by the standards of most college professors today. Years ago I decided that I stood no chance of any career advancement in that political environment and made a long painful sojourn into a career change. When I first started working for some tech startups headquartered in places like LA and SF, staffed to the brim with California liberals, I was pleasantly shocked how much more normal those working environments were.
Steve Stewart-Williams@SteveStuWill

Not only have conservatives become vanishingly rare in academia, so have centrists. That’s how complete the left’s dominance is: Even moderates are now a fringe group in academia. stevestewartwilliams.com/p/academias-le…

We're hiring a Head of Mortgage at @Opendoor. Mortgage is broken. We're going to make it work, like it should. Mortgages should be straightforward, fast, and cost much less to manufacture. We're rebuilding it from the ground up 🏡. Miami or Tempe. In office. dms open. ats.rippling.com/opendoor/jobs/…

If you're young in a truly rural area of the Northeast, you know this feeling. "90% of everyone in this bar is gonna be dead in the next 15 years, and when they're gone, this bar is going to close, and if I stay here, I am going to be alone." It's like a real-life horror film.
