Five Years of Recurse Center
I'm probably going to be in the minority here, but I find something very cliquish about the Recurse Center and the many high profile alums. At the end of the day, they seem like a fancy placement agency who happened to get some good developers attend their program.<p>I've also heard from certain of their _non_ high profile alums and they've spoken about feeling left out (because most of the others were hacking away in Python whereas she was a Ruby developer and felt isolated). Since then I take everything said and written about the Recurse Center with a grain of salt.
