Full disclosure: I am currently seven months into the Lambda Full-stack Web Development Track.

For a certain kind of student (eg, me) upskilling isn't quite an option, but I understand and mildly agree with the point.

I think that if ISAs are viewed as global (rather than local) skill redistribution, it makes sense. The true problem lies in the potential for exploitation, and players need to be altruistic (LOL) about what counts as hedging bets versus ripping students off.
