I'd stay far away from hiring anyone who explodes like this as a consultant.

Thanks! I skimmed a few of their articles and it seemed more qualitative review than quantitative outcomes... but helpful to see some of the work that's been done. And maybe I missed the quantitative ones.

The "multi-level" programming (simple graphical, complex graphical, text) was really neat to see. It seems like an attempt to improve on Lego Mindstorm, since that's another "teach programming using robots". So that

While it has a bit of snark to it, certainly conveys the point of "This is your PhD. No one is going to hold your hand. Get it done." The people who drop out of PhD programs usually are plenty smart enough, they just don't kn

This is well written. 100 pages covering the basics for someone with a interest in how to get started. Ch.4 on "nice to have" vs "need your solution" is especially good because it's where many companies fail.
