jmlr··on A free, self-guided study program for software engineers in San Francisco
For those that don't know, Recurse Center[^1] is a self-directed, 12 or 6 week free programming retreat in New York City. I'm currently enrolled, and my batch is finishing this week. It's been a really good learning experience, and I'd highly recommend it.
