I'm a teacher at DBC and that's not our attitude at all, for what it's worth. :) As we get better-and-better at optimizing those ten weeks, we'll add more advanced topics. I'd love to have a set of challenges like that later in the 10 weeks. In fact, one group wrote their own custom query language to query github repositories (e.g., a language to say things like "Give me a list of all github repositories whose primary language is Ruby with more than 1 contributor and 10 outstanding TODOs") as part of their final 9-day project. They might not have had the vocabulary for it, but they were essentially wrestling with problems in compiler design. The more salient part of his sentence is the last half: he didn't care. At DBC we spend tons of energy on creating situations where the only way to solve a (fun, hopefully) problem is to learn compilers, algorithms, databases, etc.
