The big question, IMO, is this: what does "complete the program" mean? Do you "complete the program" when you get whatever certificate they hand out, or is it "complete" when you get a job, because there's a BIG difference between the two...

No catch, just some very easy to follow steps for any motivated individual: [https://www.tiktok.com/@comedycentral/video/7018617892316908806?lang=en](https://www.tiktok.com/@comedycentral/video/7018617892316908806?lang=en)

Austen seems smart and nice but he's not an engineer and he's like an expert marketing person. He has a track record of misunderstanding the scope and scale of the technical side of what he does.
Growing Lambda School from 0 to 2000 students in 2 years while thinking that the underlying technology was unique and special was a big mistake and it imploded.
A reasonable mistake to learn from and improve next time.
So we'll see what happens with Gauntlet - will the marketing be 5 steps ahead of the product, let in 2000 engineers who want to upskill to AI and it falls apart if they are just doing AI projects and getting feedback from past alumni who are a month ahead?
Or will they build something truly unique that is permanent IP and value.

yeah, i think lambda was a good idea but his first time executing. they're slowly scaling this time around. keeping cohorts around 100 at a time in order to keep caliber of graduates high. so far so good

My question is what makes the day to day unique and how protected is it.
Someone (maybe it was Austen) published the project list and I can make all those projects myself this weekend.
Are AI experts reviewing the code and giving feedback?
I'm not being critical, but applying critical thinking.
My 2 cents:
\- giving people housing and a community creates strong vibes (similar to 42 School)
\- if the brand is strong enough, maybe some uniquely expert speakers can come in
If they recognize what makes them unique and go all in on that, then it will help.
If they think there is something special about the substance of what they are teaching then it will fail.
