My partner went to Makersquare (since bought & rebranded Hack Reactor).

They joined a successful small e-commerce site (Javascript), then a few years later joined Loon (Google X) (Python), and sensing the wind switched to another Google X project before Loon shut down.

They're doing pretty well, if I say so myself.

Which in 2018 was bought and integrated into Galvanize!

lol I can't keep up!

The interesting thing is that much of the value of a diploma/certification is in the "brand" backing it.

In any case, I don't think my partner was counting on the value of the Makersquare brand as anything other than getting their foot in the industry, so that's done and gone.
