you're right - it's kinda funny that boot camps are promoted because "university is a terrible way to learn programming", but they then try and sell boot camps as an effective way to learn the framework de jour. Maybe if

well all those courses that aren't comp sci are still part of a degree, still require learning skills and still promote university-level thinking and production. I think bootcamps actually demand a far higher rate of output and often a

what you are arguing is the captured surplus under the supply curve. We can assume that demand is essentially inelastic for a relatively large price range (hence the introduction of rent control) so the extracted value is the area under a c

Except you still have all those great options you mention (I played AoE II earlier tonight, in HD!) plus the excellent indie scene, plus you get all the blockbusters 9-12 months after release for a fraction of full retail. You've also
