Curious what everyone's take on this is. (happy to answer any questions about my own experience about a month and a half in to data science) Imo, lambda has plenty of problems but is also a much better solution than a bachelors degree on average & this is not great reporting.https://twitter.com/rosaliechan17/status/1182801459726802944 …

Says a hell of a lot more about the state of modern journalism than it does about Lambda School. But even that is diminished by the fact that this is Business Insider, which is essentially what you get when the sponsored content on Forbes gets drunk enough to fuck USA Today

FWIW, I did a py bootcamp before Lambda existed, at $11k upfront. Like a few of the other fast-moving students, I felt at times that I was held back a bit with an engine revving to go. A few of the struggling students felt the pace was intolerably demanding. I think this is par.

I recall one instance where I was left floundering for 2 days on a serious bug with a major feature of my project & started to resent the lack of hand-holding. In hindsight, any more than was offered would've hindered the solution search process, which I *did* need to go through

In the *real* world, *real* engineers sometimes spend a full work day or more trying to solve a problem that feels like it should've been solved in 15 minutes. This is very hard to intuit without experiencing it. But it's understandable that students hate it.
