If I quit my job to attend a programme only to get kicked back a whole batch on day 1, I don't think I'd want to continue.

  I'm not a programmer, so I don't know anything about RC. I just find this whole situation and blog post odd. How is the job market for programmers right now?

    There have been layoffs, like ClassPass fired 50% of staff, but there's still work too. The author is a little strange, quitting a job to go on six week retreat instead of taking a leave of absence, but if he is acting that way, he clearly wanted to switch to a new job anyway, had plenty of money in reserve, and likely won't have trouble finding one. RC doesn't seem to have any value beyond them acting as a recruiter for you at the end, but recruiters are free and happy to help you find jobs without that anyway.

      The author mentions this was a good nudge to finally quit his job. Perhaps something premeditated and planned? Why is this strange? By chance, did you read the article?
