Nice! Thanks for digging into that
Oh cool, I wonder if a similar program like this could work now. I’ll try to find it also.
I love how these encourage learning science while playing but they leave out low income kids. I wonder if there’s a way for things like these to be available for low-income kids also?
Vietnamese, although Spanish might be helpful if you had to prioritize. Lots of kids of immigrants in the US where our parents don’t read English well enough to participate in things like this.
I was just thinking about how great it would be to have something like this for my mom! Especially the low-impact exercises. Do you have coaches in any other languages outside of English?
If I didn’t worry about money, I would certainly delete my LinkedIn. The author’s opinion is that having a LinkedIn will hurt in getting a job. I was thinking that it would help since a lot of companies ask for it.
For me, having a LinkedIn is certainly out of fear however I haven’t had many benefits from it. I paid for premium for 2 months and didn’t get anything out of it in terms of getting a job.
I recently had to make this decision. It was a tough decision but in the end I made my own curriculum based off of the syllabus of the bootcamp I was accepted to. I’m already disciplined at self study and been remote working happily for years so a self-bootcamp works for me. It depends greatly on your brother’s learning style and current life situation.
Also, I decided that online bootcamps at the price of offline is not worth it.
And these articles really helped me made the decision:

I also talked to a lot of alumni of the coding bootcamp I was considering and talked to other people online including those who self-studied and currently had a development job.
