    Based on the amount of hell I catch from University professors and administrators when I say the purpose of Lambda School is to teach people skills they need to get a job, you’d think we were burning down libraries

        As someone in academia, I think LS is fantastic, as a concept and I’m in practice. But I also think “teaching people skills for a job” isn’t the primary purpose of universities, and it was never meant to be.

        You mean because you are showing their revenue model to be susceptible and not delivering what is says it does? Imagine that 😉

        The main issue is that it implies that they aren't. Hence, it's a problem that you and others are solving.

        Keep on doing what you’re doing then. That’s the kind of validation I would kill for in your line of work.
