> I don’t understand the title? How do you get ‘rejected’ by Code Academy? It’s not a ‘boot amp’ with an application process. You either do the free lessons offered, or pay up for one of the ‘Pro’ level tiers.

From his blog:

> I've applied to work at Codecademy three times, once in 2014, again in 2015, and most recently in 2020. I've been rejected all three times. I wanted to prove to myself I was capable of building something like it, so I decided to build my own version.

> Thanks, I didn’t dig deep enough to find the boy buried at the bottom. That definitely clears things up.

...there's a boy buried at the bottom? i hope that's a typo!


Lol, fixed it. But ‘boy’ was funnier!
