   While this is very clever, I'm not a fan of the implementation. I wish there was a documented oauth2 option and not just an iframe and some script. Script seems innocuous but Im not a fan of having the iframe on my page, and its hard t

   I think you are taking the metaphor a little bit too literally. :)

   The downside there is that you're then forced to build your application as a completely separate service and static site. With this approach, you can stick single page app where the UI needs to be more stateful and then use traditional

   Classified doesn't mean censored. What makes you think there aren't 100s of classified documents about this dating from 9 months ago or even before?

   Hey Shereef, alumnus here. Don't listen to this; I attended right after the Kaplan acquisition, and everyone was very transparently working to keep the mission and values you started with alive. I'm sure you made out with money bu

    This is probably one of the few that wasn't doing sketchy stuff like that so I'm not sure I would say it's "good". If anything this shows the "university of Phoenix" model is the only viable one.

    The support/general overhead wasn't cheap either. When I was there we had a free therapist, mandatory morning yoga, teambuiliding exercises, and stuff like weekly free food, etc.

    Just want to point out that the founders ~peaced~ left 3 years ago. Kaplan has been running the program over the past few years.

    While thats generally true, it can take years for people to get the hang of developing software, which I would distinguish from just programming.

    I did Dev Bootcamp and graduated in early 2015 -- have been employed ever since. Unfortunately I think the program has changed for the worse during the past year or so. They had been acquired by Kaplan around the time I started. About a yea

    Definitely. This is the biggest development of the recent release. They have one of the best bot APIs out there but bot developers have been waiting for this for 2 years.

    I did a video call with them and had a very negative impression. They seem to be trying to do to developers what uber does to drivers which made me a little uneasy. The interviewer admitted to me that developers are basically expendable to

    Who are these non-JS users. Can you point to some statistics here? Using developer time on it seems more wasteful than trying to support old versions of IE.
