Billionaire Launches Free Code College in California [news.slashdot.org] @iayori

@BryanWilhite developers need great nutrition to support the brains growth. They need tech companies to sponsor their cafeteria.

@BryanWilhite Anyone willing to work & dedicate themselves to learning engineering should have any basic needs obstacle removed

@BryanWilhite in return they should commit to volunteering their services to support education and other social services in the future

@BryanWilhite they should also have a challenge room where engineers could go and solve problems for small biz, NGOs etc for prizes

@BryanWilhite The challenge room should also provide course credits so if someone learns better by doing they may spend much more time there
