Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Chinese tech companies are increasingly seeking out high schoolers to fulfill research and internship roles due to insufficient talent in universities. Creativity is increasingly valued for roles such as product managers, and it is believed that younger candidates may be more likely to imagine things that do not yet exist. Globally, some tech leaders are questioning whether universities are still the best way to train talent. Tech companies recruit many people without bachelor's degrees who just figure things out on their own.
