Wow, so nice to see a refreshing attitude here on HN. You nailed the arrogance of SV types. Not everything can be improved with technology, just look at these massive failures in disrupting education : Coursera, Edx, Udacity. I, too, hope that engineers will just step away from education. /s

Sorry, lately it's been hard to distinguish whether people are being sarcastic or are just idiots.

My apologies.
