Hi! u/lemonpotatoes thanks for spending the time to write up a great response! So one thing I haven't sorted out yet with Codesmith is that Will Sentance is EXTREMELY FOCUSED on teaching. Like he is a brilliant person and cares a lot about teaching quality.
However, most Codesmith people I talk to:
1. Find the material like a firehose and feel always behind. They are told that the point is to learn how to learn and most people absorb 20% of the materials.
2. All of their teachers, TAs, and leads were all Codesmith alumni themselves and haven't worked in the industry.
Do you have your own thoughts on this? It seems like a big disconnect from Will's intentions to build the best approach to teaching.
