I'm not interested in a refund. I posted my experience so others can learn from my mistake. When make games with us was on HN I believed in your company and by the end I felt duped. Maybe things have changed but I would never give you guys a second chance.

Also, my experience is not unique. During the course many students voiced their frustration. Your site crashed the first day, content was posted late and the example code had bugs in it.

That was the time to offer refunds, privately, to every one of your customers. Not here, publicly, to one person exposing your company.

I totally understand your frustration, but frankly I think you're being a bit harsh on them. I have recently started providing CS courses independently and trust me, it's not as easy as it seems. Shit happens. As a first timer, I know I have made mistakes and I have learned from them. I know my current course wasn't all that but I know my next would be better. Obviously I am going to email people telling them about my newest venture, though I would try not to make seem like spam.

Anyways, everyone deserves second chances. Just because my first code draft had bugs in it, doesn't mean I should stop coding. (though I really should remove those bugs before shipping)
