Yeah - Jiki is designed to equip you to be a modern developer: 1. Learn to code (because you still need to know how) 2. Learn how to do agentic coding and how all the technology yo…

Exactly. Thank you. Also, I'm using the new thing to keep exercism funded. But even if I wasn't, your post would be entirely true!

Hello. You'll get an email after a day telling you about it, and you'll get a banner after you've submitted a couple of exercises :)

Thanks so much for your support :)

I've replied to this further down. Exercism is a nonprofit - we have no shareholders. We've had many large organisations donate to us (including Mozilla and Google) who have vetted…

Thanks, yeah. New product will hopefully mean I can keep funding and growing exercism. They're very synergistic and will support each other.

Thank you so much for commenting. Always awesome to hear about from the people exercism has helped.

Hello. Blog post author and Exercism co-founder here. Thanks for all the comments, especially those kind supportive ones. I've replied to a few, but I thought it would making a cou…

We're not shutting down :) But yes, rather than shutting down, I'd probably just put the whole thing behind a paywall to try and keep it alive.

It takes people about a month to work through a language track, learn the language, and get on with their life. So I wouldn't expect to have more than 45k MAU. 70k MAU is because p…

Done, although I emailed the email in your profile. I'll send it to that one too :)

No problem. Thanks for acknowledging that! :)

It's also worth pointing out the Exercism isn't for coding newbies - it's for developers learning new languages. This often gets missed.

We're paying ~$1k/month for all our webservers (which is a dozen ECS instances). They're handling about 3,000 requests per second (but that does sometimes massively spike to tens o…

We're not really part of the "leetcode industry". People have used Exercism to learn new programming languages for a decade. We've deliberately not wanted to become a place of comp…

Thanks :)

We have about 70,000 MAU. People tend to spend an intense few weeks learning a language, then disappear for a year. Then come back and learn another language. A large part of the 2…

Hello :) Appreciate the comment. If you have thoughts on that, I'd love to hear them here: https://forum.exercism.org/t/exercism-teams-coming-soon/1266...

Thank you for being so kind and supportive. I really appreciate your comment. I'm ok. I'm hopeful for the future. I believe there's lots of amazing stuff we can do and that Exercis…

Hello. This isn't actually correct. Exercism is a Company Limited by Guarantee. It has no shareholders. It can't pay dividends. Community Interest Companies do have sharedholders a…

Exercism has a new annual challenge for 2024. This year we're focussing on digging deeper into the languages you use day-to-day rather than trying new languages. Each week we'll be…
