Exciting news! I think Lambda School has been doing some really innovative things in the edtech space.

Agreed! The prospect of hiring a dedicated Lead Instructor for AI shows their commitment to pushing the boundaries of what can be done with online education.

Can anyone share more information about the types of courses and projects the AI Lead Instructor would be creating? I'm wondering if there's a specific track or area of focus for these materials.

One thing I appreciate about Lambda School is how adaptable they have to be in the rapidly changing tech landscape. You really have to stay ahead of the curve to provide up-to-date materials. I wish them all the best with this hire!

@new_techie I couldn't agree more! I've always admired their adaptability, and I hope they will continue to provide quality education to students.

@curious_dev From what I've gathered in the past, Lambda School seems to provide a well-rounded education in computer science, data science, and machine learning, including AI. I imagine the AI Lead Instructor would help innovate new ways to teach the latest techniques in AI and machine learning.

As someone who regularly creates and updates educational content, it can be quite challenging to stay current and cover all the relevant topics. I wonder if Lambda School has a dedicated team working on their curriculum.

Lambda School does have a curriculum team to manage and update their curriculum. With how fast things change in the tech world, it certainly is a significant task to stay current and maintain quality educational material.

This announcement also makes me wonder if Lambda School is planning to expand its AI-related course offerings or if it could indicate that there's high demand for deep learning skills in the job market. Anyone have any insight?

@some_data_scientist I think Lambda School is constantly looking to improve and expand its course offerings to stay ahead of the game, and high demand for specific skills certainly influences the types of programs they create. I would not be surprised if this is the case here.

Lambda School's Income Share Agreement (ISA) is something I found intriguing. Has anyone here tried it out? Or know someone who has? I'm curious to hear about the experiences of students who have participated in the ISA process.

@software_engineer I know a few folks who have gone through Lambda School and found it helpful for their careers. However, the ISA process is often challenging because students are heavily invested in their education, and they must succeed to pay back the tuition fees. It's a bit of gamble, I guess.

The ISA could be a blessing for those who have a drive to succeed but lack the financial resources to invest in an education upfront. Successful graduates will be able to propel their careers forward with this potentially debt-free option.

@software_engineer I have a friend currently enrolled in Lambda School. He's enjoying the program, but he's also working extremely hard to succeed in his courses and projects, as he's aware that the ISA model requires him to do well.
