A lot of talk about Lambda School today, and most of it I'll ignore.



One I'm going to respond to - that Lambda School is "creaming" - removing the best students from other schools and locking them into ISAs.



This is a tweetstorm full of student stories, so buckle up.

J is a single father, high school dropout with two kids (1.6 GPA), had been working in a warehouse for four years. We noticed in our intro courses he was doing well at programming, and decided to invest.



He attended Lambda, now makes software for warehouses, making $80k+/yr

S had to drop out of school when she couldn't afford the payments on her archaeology degree. She was living in a car when she applied to Lambda School.



She was also hired at an $80k rate.
