One unexpected thing about the MOOCs is that it's in some sense the "pursest" teaching that I've ever done --- no certification, no assessment (other than self-assessment), etc. Everyone there was/is hungry for knowledge and skills, in many cases with few other avenues to attain them

Absolutely! Don't want to overdramatise this but: I grew up typical low income Indian family. The course not just helped me with tactical algo skills but I feel in love with CS theory in very deep ways. Today, I'm definitely in the 1%, and doing AI in a YC company.
