Thanks for the feedback! Did you mean the "I’ve worked at Google Brain and OpenAI" in the second para? Also, yeah, Distill is amazing ! Every post is a work of art. Learned so much from it.

First chapter was quite fun. I actually would have bought the course, but do not own a credit card. This is quite common outside of the US, if you could add PayPal it would be substantially more accessible.

Thanks! :-) That's a great point, I'll look at adding PayPal. (In the meantime, anyone in this situation: send me an email and I'll can sort something out for you! - jameshfisher@gmail.com)

Uh credentials are good actually. The point of credentials is that they allow me to trust someone without being an expert myself. Of course if you are already an expert then you can look beyond credentials to determine whether someone knows what they're doing or not

Not sure what's your intent with all that "pseudo constructive criticism" tone. And also, what's the point of sharing links that are completely out of the purpose of the post?

Since you have such amount of free time, what about taking advantage of that and make a real contribution and proper feedback to this post.

I invited more positive and productive discussion on the advertised topic:

>"I'd enjoy hearing some concrete discussion of what unique vision you have for improving the intuition of people trying to do data science, and how this helps humanity, and your journey beyond A/B testing marketing techniques.

So far i've not received it from any replies (including yours) and haven't seen it happen in any other comment threads so far (including ones which could be made by yourself).

The lack of thoughtful discussion makes me believe this post is meant to be just a marketing/sales pitch (something I covered as a potential issue in my comment) rather than a post for having deep, thoughtful, expansive discussions on this topic.

Like I said, I think you are perhaps the one who isn't in sync with what kind of conversations are valued.

Interesting course. I'm not sure if you're affiliated with tigyog.app owners or not, but 20% commission on paid courses is too much. The platform looks neat and interesting, but I wouldn't pay 20% of whatever I'm charging for a course to be able to use a platform that self describes as a "blog with buttons".
