Not to mention that Lambda School is an attempt to actually align the incentives of school and students, which is the main problem with educational financing today. Wrong target to pile on.


As a student that went through the program, I question if their incentives were aligned.

During the middle of my enrollment at the program (Sept 2020), the school suddenly dropped all notion of grading, code review, and attendance, let alone the length of the program. It remained this way for 3 months, 50% of the length of the program.

This is a broad description of the changes, but I want to emphasize that the changes were terrible, _many_ students complained, and the school essentially whistled with fingers in their ears.


Are you doing okay now?? That sounds awful...:(


I graduated at the end of February and am still job searching.

In the meantime I have a part time job and working through the MIT Computer Science OCW


If I was in a position to offer you something I would but I’m not. With some luck, someone else will see this and help you out.

That said, I’ve read through your profile and you’re a heck of a good writer. You likely don’t need any help and you’re going to do very well for yourself!! :)


Thanks! Nobody's ever told me that about my writing! My email is open if anyone wants to chat, to anyone that sees this :-)
