Nick Bergson-Shilcock is the CEO and co-founder of the Recurse Center (recurse.com), a self-directed and community-driven educational retreat for computer programmers. Nick describes his background as a lifelong unschooler (he’s the son of Peter Bergson, a recent podcast guest), as well as his early interest in gaming and programming and his transition into college, career, and Y Combinator (the startup incubator). We discuss how RC differs from “coding bootcamps,” who applies, who gets in, how the whole thing is funded, RC’s unique social rules (no well-actually’s, no feigning surprise, no back-seat driving, and no subtle -isms), and Nick’s evolving views on unschooling.Visit Nick’s personal website at https://nick.is/ Recorded on July 20, 2021.

Nick Bergson-Shilcock on the Recurse Center

Nick Bergson-Shilcock joins me this week! In a nutshell, Nick grew up unschooling and now runs the Recurse Center in New York. It’s a wonderful space for both new and experience programmers to take a sabbatical and vastly improve their programming skills. It was fascinating to hear the story of how the Recurse Center came […]

EU180: Growing Up Unschooling with Nick Bergson-Shilcock

Learning to program is about self-driven exploration. Universities help guide you, coding boot camps provide a rigorous environment to work in, and online coding courses provide content for you to study. But none of this will turn you into a great programmer unless you have the drive to improve and the curiosity to explore.   The Recurse Center is a place where people can come to become better programmers. Nick Bergson-Shilcock is a founder of The Recurse Center and he joins the show to discuss how it works and why he started it.  This episode is a continuation of our exploration of coding boot camps, online courses, and universities, which are the pillars of programming education. The Recurse Center presents another unique model for improving as a programmer.  The post The Recurse Center with Nick Bergson-Shilcock appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.
