It's a shame to limit people's personal pursuits

Comment are essential, would buy with comments.

Do you want the fresh apple or the rotten apple? They're both apples. Make yours the fresh apple.

how many graduates does each approach have into jobs in development?

To be fair, students at the flatiron school would be more likely to obtain a job simply because of the resources they have put in. Months of their lives and $12,000 per student. But to level the playing field I believe that for every $12,000 spent on one month rails by students (245 students) will produce more people who will go on to develop at a professional level than $12,000 spent at the flatiron school (One student). I believe this is what Mattan is after with the course, the ability to show people it isn't impossible to learn to code while exposing them to working examples and a plethora of resources that are not common knowledge outside of the tech industry. On another note, I also wouldn't be surprised to see more than 1 out of 244 go on to attend a dev boot camp like the flatiron school after finishing one month rails.

what current skills do you have? I would pick a skill to compliment my current skills.

potentially, but the vast majority also offer some benefit to staying with them. i.e. your friends are there, user incentives to promote growth crediting you to keep using the system, some form of retention. Here there is none and the price is outrageous for what is being done.

How are you going to survive? I could build this in a weekend and be profitable charging a quarter of the price. If this catches on I imagine someone will do just that.
