If it was 15 years ago it probably would have been named "Codr.io", so there is progress

...although I also got a kick out of "remixing" Windows 95. And "remixing" video games (Civ and Colonization were particularly great because they were SO EASY to edit both assets and configuration). So many custom mouse cursors, shutdown screens, start-up sounds, etc etc.
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.
Lots of different situations could apply.

For me, programming was like being a little god in my own little world. For an introvert especially, it was exhilarating. You write a command, and it obeys. When you see something on screen is even more satisfying. In fact, the all-night coding binges happen because in an intense period of learning, you are producing a ton of adrenaline, and that annihilates sleep.

Wishing you all the success!

When you open vim and look at the blinking cursor, you stand on the precipice of greatness in the shoes of every programmer who has ever lived, all of you united across space and time by that peculiar feeling you get when you peer into the infinite possibilities of your empty text file.

Possible loss, on the other hand "this guy wants to build his own site / make the decisions" might not be a great hire if you're trying to hire a worker drone to build a given widget. Lots of different situations could apply.
