Codecademy is smart - they realize that collecting use/accomplishment data on high-quality lessons carries much more upside than trying to sell the content created on their platform.

thanks for posting these, guys.

one request - could you please get rid of the devastating meebo bar?

Frankly, this is just sad.

Your answer is based entirely on the premise that working for a startup boils down to killing yourself for the chance to get rich, which couldn't be further from the truth.

The "rich people" who do startups do it because they love building things that solve big problems, the work hours and payouts are, if they're lucky, just a byproduct.

Sure, I'm 24 and I have basically nothing to lose, but really I have no choice - I have to build things. I can't deal with just performing maintenance.

And even if you are ok with just performing maintenance, working in a small team is simply more fun than working at a larger one.

Seriously, reflect more on this. Writing off startups because they're "in a business of greed" is a straw man at best.

The tech world deserves to read a post on one page too.
