(I don't know about Lambda School specifically; just speaking of fields here.)
Any talk of transferring anything cultural from current software development practice to somewhere else important... makes me nervous, by default.
Right now, we have huge problems in software development practice, with both design&implementation quality, and ethics.
You don't want your medical device or bridge developed in any way like the majority of software right now. You don't want your ER nurse to be smug about how smart they are, while they do shoddy work with fad tools and halfwitted cargo cult processes. You don't want your doctor or lawyer selling you out to 'analytics', for starters, like almost every dotcom startup does.
As startups try to bring the greatness of Webrogramming to other areas, are they going to suddenly say, "Oh, but this is actually an important area, unlike the information infrastructure of humanity, so this one we'll do with more responsibility than obviously we have been."
