Wait... the Lambda School that's constantly on HN for its disgruntled students, questionable success rates, and murky financials? What possessed beej to associate his name with them?

Sure, here's an HN thread with lots of views from the inside: "Lambda School is the biggest mistake I made this year"[1]

And here's some reporting that aggregates questionable practices and student complaints: "The High Cost of a Free Coding Bootcamp"[1]

And here's some paywalled reporting from The Information with even more student complaints: "Lambda School's Growing Pains: Big Buzz, Student Complaints"[2]

Please, tell me more about the view from the inside.
