Suggested by someone who claims to be revolutionising an education model that is quite alarming. One does not effectively learn by listening to only one perspective.

Seeing as your model is linked to the same kind of systemic inequality that Bezos is the product of, perhaps it makes sense. What % of applicants do you accept again?

You can accuse Lambda School of a lot of things; furthering a system of inequality is not one of them

Blocking people on Twitter is not equivalent to not considering views that are different than your own

It is effectively reducing your exposure to ideas you don’t agree with and confirming your bias. I don’t agree with pro life NRA loving republicans but seeing their content helps me undertand them as humans and find middle ground. Sitting in your walled garden will do no good.

Still wanting to hear what % of applicants your school accepts. Genuinely curious.

I don’t understand how that is related to the rest of the conversation, but it’s about 3%

It isn’t. Thank you, it’s what I presumed. Do you think it could ever be increased to a % that would enable your model to be applicable for a whole generation?

We are accepting as many people as we can if we think they will make it as software engineers. If we don’t think they can it’s not a good thing for them for us to accept them. I tho knee will realistically be able to serve every demographic. Perhaps not as software engineers.
