Lambda School is the biggest mistake I made this year

I have zero skin in the game either way, but this is such a sad and dismissive response. At the surface polite and accepting critique, but underneath that putting all the blame on the student that paid a ridiculous 30k for this. Generalised 'most did like/benefit from this' to discredit the specific critique while not engaging with the issue of why the issues weren't fixed. Supposedly a 1:10 teacher:student ratio but no one fixed the problems mentioned by op or in the Reddit thread. Do they all only work 1h a month?

This post tells me all I ever needed to know about lambda. Clearly an irresponsible organisation more focused on image than value and with no respect for their supposed students.

If they get a tech job paying greater than $50,000 per year, then they pay some proportion of their pay, for a period of years, up to a maximum of $30k. So are you saying the student earned enough to pay $30k? Then they also earned a lot more than that after the program for themselves. If they didn’t earn more than $50k per year for a few years after lambda school, they pay nothing
