I don't know...if you can't figure out how to install python on a local machine...maybe you don't have any business being a coder to begin with. I mean, come on...

edit: the downvotes from the delicate snowflakes crack me up...

Yeah this happened a couple times last week too...I just assume it happens every time there's a huge jump in volume...

It would be impossible for me to re-record every single video using AWS as the dev environment...I have thousands.

We wouldn't want to hurt Amazon's feelings.

Codemy.com is my website. I don't host my videos on youtube.

I can add team members if they already have an account...if not, there seems to be no way for them to sign up.

Helpful comment, thanks.

It works if you already have an account. I think anyone who watches one of my videos from today forward is out of luck.

I teach courses online too...now all of my videos using C9.io as the dev environment (thousands of videos) are obsolete. This sucks.

So disappointed with this!

I teach coding courses online...I've published dozens of courses teaching many different programming languages to thousands of students. In every single course, I recommend and use c9.io as the dev environment.

In one stupid swoop, Amazon has made all my courses obsolete.

Now people watching my videos can't create an account on C9, they have to sign up for aws and use the completely different interface. People can no longer follow along with the thousands of videos I've created.

I get that you bought C9 and want to integrate it. But why close down c9.io to new accounts? Why can't they both exist?

So very disappointed...

Aren't Fox News and the Wall Street Journal owned by the same company? :-P
