Going for masters to US

Been trying to get a slot lately and it has been impossible. It seems to be getting worse bybthe day and the passport scheduling guys quote 20-30k, how is this acceptable 🥲🥲

We found out an emerging problem how engineers across organizations are creating MCPs, skills and agents.

But the problem is that no one actually uses these innovations. The cause is largely due to two problems:

Lack of a discoverability layer

Organizations store their AI components and agents in siloed github repositories with little to no documentation. Users are not able to locate similar components and this results in multiple developers creating the same/similar components again.

Missing Feedback Loop

Any software where usage patterns are not understood and the principle of user-centric development is violated tends to fade out. Such is the problem with development of MCPs, Skills and Agents. Developers publish and maintain these components with little visibility into how they're actually used. Additionally, AI failures don't trigger static error codes—they hallucinate or provide subtly incorrect answers. This leaves users clueless about what went wrong compounding the feedback problem.

Observal solves this by providing a centralized discovery layer for AI components alongside useful insights into AI usage patterns. Ensuring internal AI tools are continuously optimized for the people using them.

Now we have 1k+ discord, 1M+ downloads, 2k+ stars on GitHub. If anyone is looking to get into open source, drop and comment and reach out.

CS 3YOE @ PBC

Dubai is high cost of living with medium salary. Malaysia is low cost and low pay.

These are my only two options, what would you pick?

24M, 3 YOE. Ex fortune 500 (one popular US bank and another army backed tech company)

I run a open source project with over 1M downloads and used across 20+ fortune 500 companies.

There is even a discord server attached with over 1200 members where we help people get into open source. There's also weekly sessions on getting into masters ny people from Cornell etc, but all of this is a free and voluntary initiative.

The project is backed by early employees of Microsoft and a retired professor from CMU. The problem is that I don't have any research papers or background. Academics are pretty decent with 3.9 and I can get referrals from these project advisors.

But wondering how much impact would all of this have for getting into something like CMU SV or UCB Mengg EECS.
