Just a heads up to any holberton school developers, the site is throwing 502s on every page.

Do you plan to allow students to attend remotely, or not? What is the grading system like, if your school isn't accredited?
How do you plan on making your students well rounded in the way that traditional colleges are supposed to?

I got my MBA/MSE at night while holding down a job. I'd kill for a skills/project based version of tech school which would let me do the same. I don't care about the degree/certification so much as the knowledge. For me the structure of a formal program would be better than many of the current online programs. Awesome concept.

Great that there is no discrimination of any kind. Some of the smartest kids I know didn't do well in high school: "Holberton School is open to anyone who is between the ages of 18 and 128, whether or not they have obtained a graduate degree from high school. No programming experience is required. Our selection process is based only on talent and motivation, with no consideration given to gender, nationality, ethnicity or social status."

Site is still throwing 502 errors, maybe you're running in dev mode? (just joking :))
Question, what's the rationale behind the name? Just curious.

Getting 502.
"Holberton School offers a truly innovative approach to education: focus on building reliable applications and scalable systems" -- hum.

I saw a few pages but now I'm also getting 502s. I'm curious about their 'Full Stack' claim, since they don't appear to define 'Full Stack' (which they should), and they don't pick a stack (assuming this is for web dev full stack? Even that was vague)
