        Yeah. Practically free for 50 years is not a true statement. Stop with the hyperbole. Are you aware of @AaronSwartzDay

        I'm a huge fan of Aaron Swartz, but public libraries have been around for a long time. You don't need the research Aaron was trying to free to learn to program

        Aaron was doing a lot more than that. Perhaps you should watch killswitch.

        I've seen it. This thread wasn't about Aaron, it was about people learning how to program. That information has always been pretty easy to get to.

        I think it’s not intuitive to people that real live humans teaching and coaching makes all of the difference

        hi @dimasc_io Lambda Grad here.I can tell you why I did it.I have a non-stem BA & took classes at UCSC & UC Berkeley Extensions as well as a million tutorials. Lambdas strength is in its structure & access to mentors & other devs.Slack channels by themselves were worth the price

        nice, i'm glad it worked out for you. I can tell you why I didn't do it. I work fulltime as a frontend dev & ux designer and come home to a pregnant gf & dog and can't sacrifice 5-9 every week night, especially for something I feel that I can and will soon achieve on my own.

        It's great to learn on your own IMHO as you already have got past your first jobs.

        i'd add "free information" !== "curriculum" (conducive to learning)

        This is every other learning platform’s issue. There are gaps and students don’t know what to take next. Even paid sites like Lynda or Pluralsight lack a curriculum path to help students gain basic competency.

        Wait until he hears student loan debt is 1.4 Trillion dollars and you are very frequently learning less valuable things.
