great points

personally i'm even rooting for companies that contend against universities

but the litmus test for lambda school is pretty fucking simple

will your company survive if you got austen as your ceo instead of you?

to be fair it really is a good idea

it's a good contender against universities and there are handful of companies in other countries that have the same model

the core differentiator and the sole reason those companies are still alive?

they don't have a fucking austen as ceo lol

the first mover advantage he got ended up being his achilles heel
