> I attended Launch School and found the founder and the program to be of high quality and integrity and the success of the capstone graduates speaks for itself.

Is this a quote from somewhere? (Or maybe just an errant > symbol?) Just wondering if it's your own experience or I missed something

Sorry errant >. It was based on my own experience. Launch School has a unique model where it's $200/month for the core curriculum which you complete at your own pace, and then can complete an optional capstone curriculum/project which comes with an ISA (18K or 18% of first year salary). Their outcomes are great, the curriculum is top-notch, and the founder always conducted himself with integrity and transparency. I had a great experience.

Thanks for sharing an ISA success story. Lots of us who used to teach at Lambda back in the day only did it because we wanted the ISA to succeed widely as a tuition payment mechanism.

That dream hasn't been realized, and certainly wasn't by Lambda, but I still hold out hope.

Cool, thanks for sharing! Another commenter also liked them.
