I think if I asked myself at the beginning, what's the most you can hope for in going to Lambda School, my expectations were met by the education quality and the follow-through from the outcomes team. It's not perfect but the incentive structure forces constant improvement in the factors that matter most for getting us hired.
People point out it's not a CS degree and they're right. But the staff manages to teach concrete skills to get students hired, and the CS, data structures, algorithms stuff in the curriculum is taught well enough and with enough enthusiasm that it gives students the basis to be conversant with CS concepts and continue growing forward.
It might not work for everyone; some people are going to struggle to become programmers. But Lambda is trying their hardest to make it work for as many people as they can, and their heart is in the right place. And it is structured so if it doesn't work for a student their downside is hedged. Due to the $50k/industry-specific cutoff for repayment, the downside of going to Lambda but not making a career transition will be least harmful to the least advantaged students.
