I am happy to see other models being tried. I agree that 8-12 week courses is not enough to become competent. However I am not sure the part-time mentors rather than full-time teachers thing will work. Time will tell of course.

I understand the intention was to create a DML interface for DDL, but I dont really understand why. I guess batch DDL operations are a little easier with meta, but it seems like a lot of work for relatively little gain. There is also the is
