Hey! Thanks for the update.
Do you have more comments about the group of people? One of my concerns is people who used to make a lot of money, like someone was a Medical Doctor, but who left their jobs, would be considered a low income student. Any insights on the backgrounds of other people?
Also do you feel like people truly have no programming experience and are starting at similar places?

Granted I haven't spoken with everyone in the group probably around 10 of the 40 but some were recent graduates, doing gig jobs, bartending, or like myself who were unemployed. The highest-paying job that someone left is a nurse practitioner.
From what I've seen in the lectures

Thanks I appreciate the answer!

I read the comments on your initial post and it must have been quite worrying to hear so much negativity. And while there are valid issues — tech is crashing hard — I think some of them were a little ridiculous, such as counting six months opportunity cost of $25,000.
I assume

I made that comment about opportunity cost. It was illustrative to show that opportunity cost is valuable and not everything free is free. I agree that saying it costs $25K in opportunity cost isn't exact.

In your next update can you share how many people (if any) dropped out?
