No. Designing products, architecting systems, writing code, testing code, documenting systems and releasing and maintaining software all takes time and most importantly, dedicated practice.

There are no shortcuts with learning computer science, similar to how there are no shortcuts learning piano, drawing, organic chemistry, etc.

Wanted to clarify on this, as my comment may have come across as antagonistic... I think what they are trying to do is a good idea and has promise. That said, I stand by my statement - there are no shortcusts - so I would market it differently. Rather than say "Learn Software Engineering 30x Faster..." change it to something like, "An Alternative Resource to Software Engineering via a Visual Approach," or something like that. It is the "30x faster" that didn't sit well with me.

Because it is pure bs PR statement. That's why. You are 100% correct to call them out.
