I noticed the testimonials on the front page [0] have all be modified to say "Recurse Center" even though some are years old. A quick Internet Archive check [1] confirms they originally read "Hacker School". I'm not sure if this is completely ethical; granted, it's just a name change, but they are presented as being direct quotes, while clearly they no longer are.

- nicholasjbs 12y agoI asked every one of the people who wrote those if they were comfortable with my updating the name in their testimonials prior to changing them.
- pimlottc 12y agoAh, then I guess it's the same as if they had just said the updated quote. Thanks for clearing that up!
- oskarth 12y agoI'm Oskar on that testimonials page. Nick asked me (and the other people there) before updating the string "Hacker School" with "the Recurse Center". It's a direct quote with a minor approved edit.
