Wow! I saw this and got all excited and read the application, then my brain calmed down and asked, “Do you really think you can get away for two months this summer? What about work?”
Then, “Also, you’re getting married in July.”
So that’s out.
Would you consider “franchising” (i.e. sending around the curriculum, syllabus, and maybe a “lessons-learned” document to interested chapters in other cities)?
We’ll definitely be writing up a detailed curriculum and postmortem for internal purposes and I expect we’ll want to make most if not all of it publicly available.
I hope that everyone who takes part is encouraged to write about their experience, whether the boot camp turns out to be useful for them or not.
I think it’s tempting (commitment bias? not wanting to confront a halo effect?) to not talk about it when one and the the people around one have put a good bit of effort into something, and it doesn’t work well for some of the people doing it. However, this can include really valuable information.
One thing I’m curious about for the boot camp is how quickly people can learn this sort of material. What’s the mix between “that hurts, I don’t have to do it any more” and “that’s a major revision of personality, and it takes down time to make sense of it and/or grow the necessary neurons”?

Congratulations :)
Why thank you! I’m quite happy about it!
Congrats indeed!
