      It’ll take longer than I had hoped, but we’ll have a small fund for student living expenses up and ready to donate to by the end of the month. I’ll be donating 100% of my non-essential-for-living salary for a while (all I have to give).

      We’ll be granting small emergency loans at first, at an interest rate just a hair above inflation. It’s still small, but it’s a start. We’ve seen several times when <$500 is the difference between minimum wage and $80k/yr jobs. Over time we’ll grow the amount we can lend.

          Does Lambda plan on adding UX/UI curriculum? I came from a Cog Sci/HCI background, but sometimes it seems like a high percentage of people just stumble into UX.

          Awesome. Seems like a lot of the innovation in decentralized learning/tech has focused on engineering, will be great to see more designers.

          This is really awesome, dude. I envy your ability to make such a big difference in people’s lives with your co. Btw my little brother got into Lambda (August) and is doing that instead of college CS. Take good care of him, please.

          I've been on that edge before ($200 from $X0K). Removing that yields the biggest relative increase in success for a lot of people (as the lower the barrier, the higher the return from getting past it). Then you can use that to tackle bigger barriers. Just tell me where to donate
