    The most frustrating thing I’m learning how to deal with at Lambda School: Rapid Improvements can make a minority of past students mad. “We paid the same, but It’s so much better for them!” This will always be true. In fact hopefully future cohorts pay less. Solvable?

        Is there any way that the content could still be made available to past students, at least in an auditing capacity?

        They’re discounting the value of their own time. They could have waited but now they’d only be just starting down the road they’ve already traveled.

        Yup @saifedean discusses in the detail in his book "The Bitcoin Standard" how the concept of having a lower time preference should be taught more https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_preference …

        The Wikipedia reference is super valuable. Coming from a far-less-than-privileged background, I know that people like me discount our time far more than people who come from privilege & plenty. It takes ages to overcome that and learn the long game. I still struggle.

        Solution: Stop improving. Like regular colleges.

        Two recommendations. Together will solve it fully. 1—Lampshade it. Bring it up day 1 and at course end. Give examples they got; example(s) upcoming class will get. Make a joke out of the "in my day, uphill both ways" human mental tendency and talk about zero vs nonzero sum games

        2—Align postgrad attitude incentives by implementing a referral system. If they refer a student who gets accepted and enrolls, "forgive" 1 month of their repayments. (You will want to do this with the installment that would most immediately follow the new student's Day 1, btw.)

        (Further detail: if installments are bimonthly, then just zero out the *two* following new-student's start day yes, obvs you will want to allow for these to stack. so if somebody went full ambassador and brought you two, then installments are zeroed for two months, etc)

        Improvements = Brand Improvement = More Value for Alums = Better Jobs = More Donations Back to School = More Improvements 1. See top 10 engineering schools.

        same challenge Tesla faces when they upgrade self-driving hardware. Make it clear to all students that you will never stop innovating and each further batch will be better than theirs.

        Ah, but Tesla is very good at rewarding the early supporters. See, for example, free supercharging for life for early customers, free LTE access, free tuneIn, etc while newer customers have to pay for those things. They know they’d be nowhere without those early customers leaping
