I too learned Dev and Design through free resources and googling (It's still how I learn), but a lot of people find value in having a path laid out to them, and having consistency in the resources they learn from.

Of course a lot of people on HN are going to be people who taught/teach themselves everything, but a lot of people want some hand holding, and that's what we aim to provide with Treehouse.

Interesting that you say a lot of people want hand-holding - I agree.

But don't you think in an industry like software development, you need to be able to self-educate. Software just moves too fast. So a person that needs hand-holding is not going to "get" what it takes to be a good programmer.

Do you disagree?
