Yechiel, this is an awesome post! I really admire your thoughtfulness and gratitude. You and I both went through the Flatiron online program while still working full-time and having a spouse and child(ren), and you do a great job of describing how much hard work it's been, but also how lucky we are to have the opportunity and support. Thank you!

Thanks for that Adam.

While hard work can't be discounted (you and I know that first hand, and actually, anyone in tech), we must still be conscious of how much of it is plain old luck and the lottery of fate, and keep that in mind while dealing with those less fortunate than we are.
