JPKab/John! Hilarious to cross paths with you again in the Hacker News comments :)
Your compliment is appreciated, but you are way too generous!
So, after taking the first session of the course in DC (internally called "DAT1"), I was a TA for DAT2, the co-instructor for DAT3 and DAT4 and DAT5, and the solo instructor for DAT7 and DAT8. The repo linked above was my repo for DAT8.
The curriculum evolved quite a bit since you took the course. One major change is that by DAT3, we had moved to Python only. We had an increasing number of students without a programming background, which was one of the reasons for the shift to a one-language course.
And I totally agree: Students get out of it what they put into it.
