I noticed the testimonials on the front page [0] have all be modified to say "Recurse Center" even though some are years old. A quick Internet Archive check [1] confirms they originally read "Hacker School". I'm not sure if this is completely ethical; granted, it's just a name change, but they are presented as being direct quotes, while clearly they no longer are.

I asked every one of the people who wrote those if they were comfortable with my updating the name in their testimonials prior to changing them.


Ah, then I guess it's the same as if they had just said the updated quote. Thanks for clearing that up!


I'm Oskar on that testimonials page. Nick asked me (and the other people there) before updating the string "Hacker School" with "the Recurse Center". It's a direct quote with a minor approved edit.
