The huge kicker about this is that the company pine64 already has a better, cheaper option with their line of the PinePhone and PinePhone Pro, which are designed exclusively for Linux and phosh experiences. With every upgrade they don't even scratch $600 a unit. At the very least, Purism is pricing themselves unfairly. Also with their past quality control failures with the Librem line, what faith should we have in the company that it will succeed?
I have experience with their programs and can confirm that they are of good quality. The big thing that can potentially be a big selling point (or turn-off) is that their programs are self-guided- with a few exceptions such as requiring setting a schedule and satisfactory academic progress requirements.

If you have any questions, ama!

So a few of my friends are into information security research and were annoyed at a lack of curriculums that train people to pursue this directly. Instead, there's so much coursework on penetration testing.

I figured HN could offer some criticism on how to further improve it.
