I'm paying your flight if you join me in the Himalaya to teach you TypeScript

If nobody joins me with this offer, I'll just keep adding more sugar until someone bites... I want to teach people typescript, but I'm just done with the half motivated people, that's why I want to go completely offline !! (Also I love the mountains of course)

I'm confused, what's the catch? Is it satire? I know a lot of people who would take you up on this in a heartbeat.. I would if I wasn't already gainfully employed to program Typescript.. I love both mountains and Typescript. Haven't been to Nepal, but Dharamsala is close and absolutely gorgeous

Other motivations are likely to attract people attracted to those other motivations. You obviously think there is a high correlation between free-flight-to-Nepal, and desire-to-learn-TypeScript. Seems unlikely.

Nepal is poor: why not find some local students? Instead of wasting money giving free flights to rich 1st world people, why not supply a few computers and training to poor 3rd world people.

Make your entry requirements highly correlated with geeky keenness for programming?
