Lambda School isn’t really software; we spent the first 18 months writing little to no code while we focused on building a world class school.
Now, of course, we’re using software to scale everything and data science to measure and optimize everything, but the core engine is a really great school and instructional design we created from the ground up, not code.

Shoddy MVPs work well for consumer software but are dangerous in the medical field where the results could be life or death. The question is how can existing processes help/hurt a transition to medical field or will it require a radically different approach that doesn't gain from existing expertise (or at least without thorough consideration).
