I've seen a lot of startups (literally thousands) but I've never seen one with user stories like Lambda School. https://twitter.com/Austen/status/1175415671980584960 …

As folks with a lot of real world experience would tell us... “When something is too good to be true...” Believe in a rosy future (optimism should drive humanity), but the present and the past come with *terms and conditions apply*
The reason Lambda School seems too good to be true is that the previous options were so terribly bad. Lambda School is too good to be true in the same way a US supermarket would have seemed too good to be true to someone coming from the USSR in 1980.

finally, the frame I've been looking for! *chef's kiss* as someone who makes a living online in marketing, the divide between the haves and have-nots has always blown my mind, and this is exactly how I would describe it too. most people don't even realize what their options are

I have acquaintances who are literally lonely, and my Twitter presence/activity is like a 1980s US supermarket to them. They can't understand it, it seems alien. But it's really just about being a kind, curious, persistent nerd in public, where the whole world can find you

In 1990 we hosted Russian youth dancers as part of a cultural exchange program. Going into a local supermarket they had trouble processing what they were seeing, some cried. One of them said the pet food aisle had more food in it than an entire store back home.

When I tell my struggling friends about Lambda School a lot of times they won't listen because they feel like "coding bootcamps" are beneath them. They word isn't out yet that this is a different kind of product.

I know in a year or two the same friends that wouldn't take my advice about Lambda School will be telling ME about Lambda School because everybody is doing it
