The article is titled "No Three-month Course can teach you how to code". It should be titled "No three-month course can turn you into a rock-star Software Engineer" because that's what it's actually saying.


"Student X took Course Y and in a mere three months became an amazing developer now working for SuperStartup earning a salary far above the national average."

  - This sentence is misleading. It implies that Student X became an amazing dev after only 3 months of doing Course Y. That's rarely ever the case, though this sentence could be true. It's more like "Student X had a super high passion for learning, and writing code, and tried to learn on his own, but needed some help. Student X took Course Y for 3 months, then worked his ass off over the next 2 years to land a position with SuperStarup earning a salaray far above the national average. It wasn't an easy course, but was the shortest path to success." I guess adding all the extra details wouldn't have made for good reading.

# Looking to write an API like this.
# Before calling Something::Thing#search, there has to be an instance of Something::Connection
# There are other classes to be used that require the connection instance as well.

conn = Something::Connection.new
things = Something::Thing.search('stuff') # requires that an instance of Something::Connection exists
other = Something::Other.stuff('more') # also requires that instance exists
conn.close

# How can I save that instance in such a way that any other classes in that module will see that,
