I did the The Full Stack Nanodegree from Udacity around 2015 and took one advanced C++ programming course back around 2018. I learned so much from those two and the content was challenging immersive and the feedback in the community was helpful. The difference when I took the course in 2018 was apparent to me the quality change in the community, the grader and code reviews were non-existent, however the class mates were still engaging. It saddens me to see a big faceless corp buying this out. I think out of all the online learning platforms, Coursera, Udemy, MIT edx, Udacity had the best product by far. Its weird to see that with COVID and distance learning becoming essential that they did not blow up as a big thing.
