I would've liked a bit more detail about the course (times, dates, how classmates will collaborate) but it's hard to argue with free.

Edit: Signup took two minutes. Upon logging in I'm presented with a simple course management software dashboard that alludes to scheduling, student forums, grade tracking, course methodology, and uploaded resources.

There's also an associated GitHub repo: http://github.com/ghoseb/clojure101/

As an HN community member, I find this a bit upsetting - this link got upmodded to 20 (as of now), and all it is is a link for a course offering. So either (a) fogus is part of a voting ring, or (b) the HN community has degenerated to the point where we upvote stuff based on title alone.

What gives?

I think you're overreacting. The course is free and seems to be online, so the potential audience is pretty large. I don't see why upvoting this would be such an audacious thing to do.

I'm not following. What exactly are your complaints about this submission? I submitted it because I thought it was interesting and apparently so did ~20 others. I assume you did not since you complained, but you could have instead not paid attention to it.

Fair enough. If enough folks found a free online course worthwhile, then I probably am overreacting. I think I'm just becoming (overly?) sensitive to the degengration of what used to be a stronger community. My apologies.

I agree. I find the registration process really irritating.

I subscribed, and got the message instantly.

The signup process is more convoluted than the current trend, but it was the norm a few years ago and I don't find it that annoying.
