The quote from the learner: "I learned more real-world skills in 12 weeks than my Stanford degree taught me" reminds me of that both ways penguin meme.

On one hand shows App Academy is "better" than Stanford.

On the other hand to be successful one already has to have a degree from a top 3 school.

That being said nice job having the materials available for free

Lol good point. It is worth mentioning that a lot of folks with no college degree (sometimes without a high school degree) have successfully been placed in awesome dev jobs with this same curriculum through App Academy. Folks from top 3 (or even top 25) schools are definitely in the minority at App Academy.

That's because we live in the old way of thinking (degree = smart, no degree = you are an idiot). Overtime, I can see that way of thinking slowly degrading, especially as more people are exposed to high-quality online courses.
