Signs of a college student in tech disillusioned with school:
1. Hasn't gone to class in over a month
2. Treats school as a side project as opposed to their job or startup
3. Will randomly find them at a tech conference or hacker house in a different country
What am I missing?

In the verb form, ship is synonymous with deliver, whether that's a package, product, or published piece of writing.
