Holberton School – a project-based alternative to college for software engineers

I saw a few pages but now I'm also getting 502s. I'm curious about their 'Full Stack' claim, since they don't appear to define 'Full Stack' (which they should), and they don't pick a stack (assuming this is for web dev full stack? Even that was vague)

We think Full Stack not in the web stack. But more of "every layer of a system" - from the servers, infra, to the front end of an app.

Interesting. There was a discussion here on HN a few weeks back where nobody could agree on a definition of "Full Stack", which is why I think it'd be better to dedicate some time to more fully fleshing out/illustrating what YOU mean by it, so that both potential students and potential companies looking to hire your students are able to interpret it in the way you intend

Hm, it's definitely good advice, we're going to look at ways to make it clearer. Thanks a lot, arenaninja!
