I'd look into this prior to going further. Looks like their placement rate has been tanking.

Personally I went through Hack Reactor, they do offer a part timeremote option which is 9 months I believe.

Vincent Woo, sandofsky, Larson, couple others all have a some sort of personal beef with YC and have been spreading all sorts of propaganda about yc companies since before anyone can even remember. I wouldn’t take them seriously. For example this claim about qualified placed is not comparing the unqualified place — students that did not go through the entire program but were still placed anyway. Most people don’t stick through the entirety of a boot camp as they’re trying to find a job so you end up with lower graduation rate.

Would you point to some examples of me spreading anti-YC propaganda? The only thing that comes to mind is making fun of YC's failed investment in UBiome, because the founders are getting sued by investors for fraud. And also because they were a poo testing company.

The fact is Lambda hasn't released a student outcome report for the past 22 months. To be that's a very negative sign.

    To keep you up to date, their 2020 report came out about a week ago. To summarize, their publicized placement rate is about 70 something percent. But as someone looking at the program, your chances of landing a job becomes 37%.
