    A Lambda School student went from stocking shelves at Walmart to a software engineer, and increased his income enough (even including paying Lambda back) that he can support his partner. His partner just quit his dead-end job and will now, you guessed it, attend Lambda School.

        I hope you're planning for more space. Can you scale to solve our engineering shortage?

        Do you plan other options? It would be great to be able to pick up just the CS part 🚀

        Meaning the CS track without iOS/Android or Web Dev?

        Exactly! Or maybe like @BradfieldCS but online. I have an EE degree and 15y of programming exp but studying pure CS is something I miss.

        I'm kind of horrified how much human talent we're wasting because of high barriers to entry. I'm glad Lambda is fixing some of that.

        Following you on Twitter and hearing these stories is such a dangerous thing with regards to the stability of my life. The temptation to apply grows everyday!!

        You are doing great job. Helping people when have no money for education. No one does that.
