I do not understand this. What does "culture of piscines" mean? I assume it's not literally pool culture.
- onion90 8y agoI think it refers to the culture of the first selection phase which is called 'la piscine'
- sildar 8y agoPiscines are intensive multi-days coding sessions that are predominant in these schools (selection for entry is done with those sessions as well). This is to encourage the "get shit done" mantra of these schools.
- baud147258 8y agoIt equates to (more or less) the method of teaching to swim by throwing them in a pool: swim or drown. In 42's case, it's code something or fail your class, but without any (or much) guidance, mostly in self-taught way.
