Lambda isn't aligned with students though, their goal is to sell the ISA for maximum value while minimizing instructional costs.
There is some natural overlap there, but that isn't the same thing as alignment.
That said, the hit ratio from bootcamp graduate to productive hire is incredibly, incredibly low. I think there's a place for bootcamps, but I'm not sure most bootcamps are operating in that space.
I don't know how to fix it, but I did think the Lambda School income share arrangement at least served/tried to align incentives for the school to actually help the students transform themselves.
