What does 'rejected' mean, I thought they let you sign up free? Either way, it's always nice to see alternatives, thanks for sharing
I think OP probably means he was rejected from working for codecademy. Their loss judging by codeamigo.

#12>My favorite part of the photographic process was watching prints come to life. I loved starting with a blank sheet of paper and applying various photographic methods to bring the image to life.
>I found that building websites was similarly satisfying. For example, click the "Reveal Image" button to watch an image fade in to the blank canvas!
I think a lot about why I went into computer science and this is the same conclusion I came to. There's something really cool about starting with a blank page and coding in elements that appear one by one and adapting the code to be what you want. Maybe there's other ways to do it but programming seemed to be the most powerful.
Just to be clear, it was video games, not photography that kinda nudged me into programming, but same idea with a blank canvas and having control of it.

#13Why don't they just call it Code Academy. why does it have to be some weird little made up word that doesn't even make any sense
If it was 15 years ago it probably would have been named "Codr.io", so there is progress

Say Codecademy and Code Academy out loud. Also in general, weird little made up words are more defensible in terms of trademarks.
And better for SEO as well, is it not?

Hey! I was rejected as a frontend engineering job applicant 3 times. The most recent application led to an on-site. After that rejection I started working on codeamigo, it's been a ton of fun!

Yeah and urls for that matter, but actually I just checked and codecademy owns codeAcademy.com

Amigo means friend in Spanish. No more of a made up word than academy.
