Second part: How do you assess this beyond prior school/work history or how quickly they finish the prep course? I could see it being much more difficult to assess with older students/parents/people who struggled in school etc.
Third part: As a non-programmer, any examples of one of these steep curves?
I wasn't meaning to imply the demand isn't there, was just trying to picture LS at scale in 3-5 years (say 25k-100K students a year).
Do you think that 75%+ placement is possible at scale -- I'd assume abandonment/failing students etc would increase greatly similar to other "open enrollment" coding bootcamps.
Regardless, it clearly is a +EV decision for any student who is able to get in. Congrats on creating a great product.
First part: Makes perfect sense
