Maybe some have changed account or are on Gitlab/Bitbucket… I doubt it and not possibly that many. This means that our full-time (9 weeks) and part-time (24 weeks) courses now count as a vocational training. It was rubbish mainly.

Out of more than forty people of my batch, only six of us have regularly pushed code to Github since the end of the batch.
