I’ve actually worked with 2 of the coders that graduated from the first round of gauntlet coders and it’s actually insane how fast they do stuff at such high quality. They are also helping our team get more ai literate even for daily task

I think 75% of that is showing the power of AI, the other 25% is Gauntlet's deserved credit for sourcing high IQ people and training them
They are charging like $50K per hire though and I don't think that will last - it's because supply and demand problem. As others come onto the scene and fulfill the demand I don't know where Gauntlet will end up, but they have a first mover advantage.
Like my company has tons of FAANG level expertise in the engineering space and we're going to charge like $1500 to start with to help a current engineer use AI more productively at work.
So hiring 1 new engineer for $50K or sending 30 current engineers to this program so they can all be that productive.
If Guantlet grads really are that much better than your current engineers is it the high IQ test they have to get in? or is it the training itself? or both? - probably both - again just the cost is an issue.
Anwyays - it's not debatable how AI is increasing productivity and we need a lot of companies to help figure out how to uplevel and upskill people of all backgrounds, shapes, and sizes.
