      I remember seeing you debate Jason Calacanis from the all in podcast on this week in startups on this exact topic. You are probably one of the most confident, well spoken people I have ever heard on a podcast. You also don't derive your comfort from the people around you, so you didn't feel the need to laugh away awkward moments. It's a great watch. this video

    2. @digianarchistOct 2021· in “Lambda School leaked documents show poor performance over the last two years”

      Vincent's interview with This Week in Startups on Lambda School is also very interesting despite the weird McCarthyist line of questioning the host goes down. this video

    3. @eachroApr 2021· in “Lambda School agrees to end deceptive educational financing practices”

      Note that the author of this piece was the founder of Coderpad, not some industry entrenched journalist. After watching his interview with Jason Calacanis( this video ), where they discuss the content of his piece, I'm more inclined to believe what Woo wrote.
