I would invite you to consider that for all the deliberately antagonistic statements made about MS SQL and IIS being "legacy", many trendy startups would make the same statement about the MySQL / PHP stack you teach in. I don't see why taking VC money is the repeatedly stated single measure of success, but I'd be interested in what VC anywhere would look positively on this sort of behaviour. You could be here selling your product and services, but the opportunity is instead being used to marginalise people.

PHP is legacy, but we teach it as a first server side programming language and then goto rails, then golang. MySQL is not legacy. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12166585 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12166585 it's still the database used all the time and it's very very good. Because there's no ROI on taking VC money and putting into a startup that's going to use that money on IIS servers. I am selling my product here. Do you want you apply? Free this year.
