Fast Crimes at Lambda School is a long-form article about a sort of a spin on the notion of code bootcamps that was the darling of Silicon Valley for a time. It hinges on the idea of "ISAs" or agreements to pay a portion of your first year's income rather than a fixed tuition. On the face of it, this seems like a great opportunity for the students, but, as you might expect, there were some drawbacks. The chief one appears to have been its being at least partly a scam.

I am quite troubled by the apparently-eternally-rising cost of universities. It would be nice if a solution presented itself. I guess this isn't it, but I am confident someone will propose one in the comments.
