I'm curious what the motivation is as well. Just clicks? Like couldn't he have shown some metrics about the YC idea that is going to disrupt higher education - Lambda school - is doing better? I haven't seen as many updates recently.
Or is the idea to get people to drop out early so his startup and other YC startups don't have to pay high starting salaries for college educated engineers.
To be clear I don't necessarily disagree with the tweet thread - just as usual twitter provides no context and is to short to understand the real motivation for the tweet.
- shafyy 5y agoBy now, it's clear that Lambda School is mostly a scam. They closed r/lambdaschool because it was full of people complaining, but you can find a lot of articles and accounts of former students if you search the internet. There's also this subreddit that only has negative reviews: https://www.reddit.com/r/LambdaSchoolReviews/ https://www.reddit.com/r/LambdaSchoolReviews/
