One Tokyo school’s programming course is trying to attract more male participants by introducing maids to its classes, a rather strange draw that will probably have some students fruitlessly flirting rather than actually learning.
Lessons taught by the class will try to focus on interaction between students, allowing paying customers to spend more time with their beloved maid classmates:
Despite being the course’s entire appeal, the service intends to also treat the maids themselves as students and strives to teach them skills beyond treating customers as their ersatz goshujin-sama and other worthlessly menial maid tasks.
Lessons are being offered on an individual basis, priced at ¥2,000 ($18) for a three hour session, including an hour for students to “interact” and work together – reservations can be made now.
What is she doing coding on an Apple? The shame.
¥2,000 for three hours probably means they either need the numbers through the door or the maids are all on terrible wages per hour.
That 1 guy who brings his own mechanical keyboard in 4th pic is already surpass normie realm, Unlike those who still coding on rubber dome & membrane KB and even worse a MacBook.
I still remember a time when all keyboards were mechanical…
And I thought hackathons were inane…
This sounds like another way to separate otakus from their money. A bunch of old computers is probably cheaper than running a real cafe. It’s even cheaper if you have your “students” bring their own laptops.
I think the electricity bill weight much more than just the computers. Then it depends of the courses too, licenses aren’t exactly cheap but teachers are probably pretty expensive.
The material cost is negligible in the long run.
That girl on the left in the first picture, she looks fucking stoned.
Wouldn’t you be if you want to get one day at a time?
