      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.

          I’d love to see what their reaction is. I imagine that’s pretty fun.
