Re:Lambda School (YC S17) now pays eligible students $2k/month by Eridrus on Wednesday March 13, 2019 @12:55AM (#19375847)
I think Lambda school is great, and applaud what you are doing. College needs some.seroous rethinking, so I applaud basically all the ideas we are trying.

I wonder what you make of the argument that most of what colleges/boot camps/etc are providing is largely just signaling, rather than education?

Obviously there is some education component, but I'm wondering how you think about the nature of the value you are providing.

I don’t think anyone believes in any sort of a “signal” from Lambda School yet. That’s something you can coast on after years of success.
