I got a late start, something paperwork related as I remember.. could have been on my side, tho
starting late resulted in being me out of sync with my cohort, so.. wait, I started on time, then fell out of sync somehow.
out of sync meant the team was already past me in terms of progression through the learning objectives.
anyway, being out of sync had advantages and disadvantages. but ChainCode does a good job of helping you get back to sync, if you're willing to do the work.
that's the big part of it, (and honestly separates the hungry and capable from the rest) if you don't show up for it, you don't go anywhere with it. they put all sorts of resources right in front of you + nearly 24/7 support to help get you unstuck... and it is totally free to use, but in order to get the benefits you must use it.
anyway, I liked it. theres a choice between bitcoin or lightning studies around the halfway point, I chose bitcoin. if I went thru a 2nd time, I'd do lightning to learn more.
oh, it was awesome to get some rust exposure too... and python, oof
I think you might be referring to the old bitcoin/Lightning seminars that Chaincode used to run.
