@Swizec @dabit3 What's that?

@paulg @Zee wouldn't it be better if they were rivals? so they would push themselves to outdo each other in everything

@j_kimbril @Austen That was definitely it. It felt like it was meant to be a replacement for TLs when it should have been an opportunity to reinforce what you've learned and help others and maybe gain some soft skills in the process. It should also be opt-in, imho

[hello_world @j_glez2]

@j_kimbril @Austen I concur that a type of Mentor program could exist in some capacity, something where you sign up to be a mentor and/or to receive mentorship. I agree that students shouldn't be forced into it, but being able to show recruiters that you have mentorship exp could be really valuable

[hello_world @j_glez2]

@Austen I actually don't miss the TLs (granted, I only had my TL for a month) but I know for me the Track Team has been the biggest miss. Our group tried it and stuck with the prompts for a whole month before half of them stopped showing up. I still love Lambda :~) Thanks, Austen!

[hello_world @j_glez2]

@Austen anybody know if they’re operating for consumers already? in the us specifically. (i’m in Chicago and i am interested)

[hello_world @j_glez2]

@HarryStebbings @Austen @twentyminutevc @justGLew @tommycollison @shaunmmaguire @jrichlive Are there any juicy news about brand new stuff making its way to Lambda School students that you can give clues about?

[hello_world @j_glez2]

@HarryStebbings @Austen @twentyminutevc @justGLew @tommycollison @shaunmmaguire @jrichlive What is one unorthodox tactic to become hired at your dream company that no one else is doing?

[hello_world @j_glez2]

@HarryStebbings I second the story about journey to becoming a founder.

[hello_world @j_glez2]

@HarryStebbings Is it still worth it living in Silicon Valley / San Francisco now that everything is increasingly becoming remote? Has the utility just decreased or is there no value in living there anymore?

[hello_world @j_glez2]

@HarryStebbings @Austen @twentyminutevc @justGLew @tommycollison @shaunmmaguire @jrichlive In Silicon Valley there tends to be a lot of horror stories about co/founders getting their startup baby ripped away from them by VC/boards. (like with Musk and Zip2) Did anything similar almost happen with you and Lambda School?

[hello_world @j_glez2]

@Austen isn't this a misnomer because Lambda sounds like lamb, not llama

although that first llama with the bandana is pretty darn cute

[hello_world @j_glez2]

@pluralsight make it longer!! :~)

[hello_world @j_glez2]

@patagucci_girl @BartholomewSel2 @Austen yikes

[hello_world @j_glez2]

@Austen lower the monthly percentage taken from ISAs or lower the total tuition cost for underrepresented minorities in tech? kinda like a scholarship for minorities

[hello_world @j_glez2]

@Austen living stipend and/or loaner laptops?

[hello_world @j_glez2]

@Austen @elonmusk

[hello_world @j_glez2]
