> The people we accept without an idea most likely have accomplished a lot.

I'm taking that to mean, as an engineer, accomplishing a lot would entail building a lot of things? Or at least a few neat things? Even if they're in my spare time for fun, like the cummy OS I'm trying to write or for startup ideas I have that probably won't pan out?

I can't think of anything else because everything about my resume and past is just unimpressive at it's kindest and failure at it's honest.
