I just applied and this is really a perfect fit for me. However, I have a hard time seeing who else would be interested in this opportunity. I'm currently traveling and bouncing around so spending some time in San Francisco sounds great.

Anyone else who signed up, what position are you in where living in San Francisco for a couple days works for you?

Really? SF is one of the most expensive cities in the world, and we're pretty much at the apex of interest in "comp sci" in 2015. My guess is that their inbox will have hundreds of thousands of applications in short order.

It's not free rent. Its just for up to a week. Similar situation to job interviews, but most of them will pay for accommodation if they fly you out.

I signed up. I'm currently doing a contract job that will be up in a few months which also aligned with my lease being up and I am interested in moving to SF so this would be perfect for me if I was chosen because I could go out there after my contract, get a job and move hassle free.
