I agree that we'd need to find a way of discerning the truly motivated from those that are just curious to learn programming. We don't want anyone to go through the process of fundraising and attending a bootcamp only to realize that they don't like programming.

Based on our current model, a fundraiser wouldn't have to pay back anyone that contributed funds toward their campaign. So we'd avoid that murky mess that comes with having a thousand micro loans to cover your tuition.

Adrian and I need to really think about some of the harmful effects brought on by the campaign. It's honestly something we haven't thought about too much, so I'm really grateful that you brought it up. Definitely deserves a lot of attention.
