You let all of the employees use something for free, come to rely on it, and then all of a sudden it's become entrenched in the workflow/culture/whatever. At that point, it's easier to just pay for the service than to switch.

See Slack.

Looks like the are supposedly emulating some of the camera's functions? I don't know enough about this camera for it to make any sense to me.

Chicago, IL area required. We're work from home friendly, but trying to build a new, core/foundational team, so want everyone in the office twice per week. We're not currently sponsoring visas.

And yes - we're running student code on the car, around a test track, and we'll send you the results (I think a video feed as well). It's your final project in the Self-Driving Car Nanodegree program.

I can't wait to watch the first time a student's code drives it around the track.

If you're one of our students, and not seeing that success, we have a lot of services to help you. I encourage you to take advantage of our resume reviews, the alumni community, the mentors, and the mock interviews we offer. It definitely takes practice and hard work to land these jobs, they are very competitive, but we're here to make sure you're a top notch candidate when applying and interviewing.

We absolutely value the college experience. I, personally, didn't complete college; but I consider it a lot like my military experience. It helps develop the "whole person concept" - there's more than just the skills/tasks for the job that helps develop someone into a productive member of society.

But, once that person is a productive member of society, once they've established that maturity; that's where products like our Nanodegree program fall in to place. We're uniquely positioned to offer educational opportunities in that skills-gap between college and career, between life events (like stay-at home mothers) and re-entering the career field, between your current level/position in your company and the next.

These fields move so quickly... a 4yr degree and completely taking over your life - when you have other commitments (children, a career, etc) - is unreasonable. We are life-long learning and firmly believe every X years (3-5 maybe? society will define this), you're going to need to get yourself back on track given your goals. That's where we fit in - we have no intent to replace college.

Needless to say, we all walked away from the meeting, hit terminal.com and were puzzled as to why they didn't show us this version of the site. Our opinions/feedback would have been drastically different.

I'm looking forward to giving this version of terminal a proper run through. The overall concept I found very interesting.

I've emailed the guy running that program and will post a reply if I'm told there's a different reasoning behind it (and hopefully we'll get our page updated too).

The good news is - you're free to take any of the other courses we have available (seriously it's all still free and I believe we're still planning to get our Georgia Tech courses out there publicly as well)! If you're interested in having the assistance of a coach/mentor while completing a course, along with a validated certification and graded course project assignment (good for the portfolio!) we also offer our Premium experience at the flat rate of $150/mo.

Ok - done with the Udacity pitch; now my personal comments. I never finished my degree and I've been a developer for over 16 years. Don't let some piece of paper stop you or make you doubt yourself. In this industry, at least as a developer, projects, projects, projects, projects - that's what really counts.

Before I joined Udacity I worked for Gov Contracting firms, I've with the NSA, DIA, VA and the Air Force. Projects, projects, projects - that's how I was offered those positions (and how the recruiters found me).

I say take a couple of online courses to gain the knowledge/skillset you think you require, then come up with a fun project, something that excites you, and build it!

This is what we did to a number of machines at this year's SouthWest CCDC we were provided no login information for.
