CEO @LambdaSchool (YC S17): A CS education that's free until you get a job. I have made remarks that I do not agree with.

      When I moved to Silicon Valley I lived in my car for the first few months because rent was so expensive. Now that is outlawed. I honestly don't know if I would be able to get to Silicon Valley today. And I have a lot of advantages most people don't.

      One time the car (that I lived in) broke down and the tow truck driver offered to let me stay at his house. We stay in touch to this day. He works at Tesla now.https://www.quora.com/Would-becoming-homeless-be-a-good-strategy-to-cut-costs-1/answer/Austen-Allred …

          When I first started in the computer industry in 1981 I slept in my car from April till September of that year and I was working 10-14 hours a day.

          Man, I remember early in my time in the Bay Area I spent 4 months living out of the back of my Prius rather than cut payroll. To heck with desk space at coworking space, there’s probably a business model in renting overnight parking to founders.

          Indeed... with WiFi and plug power for the Prius of course...

          Fascinating story. Now I know where the motivation behind Lambda comes from. It sounds too good to be true -- to offer free CS courses to people until they get a job. But you have a heart for those people because you know what it's like to have almost nothing.
