#2The paragraph under the headline was almost not readable for me, had to highlight it. I think "text-neutral-500" blends too well with the dark background.

#4Hello HN! I started this project a few years ago when I was unfortunately rejected by Codecademy for a software engineering position for the 3rd time. I love coding, and I love helping others learn to code. In my spare time I volunteer at Justice Through Code (https://centerforjustice.columbia.edu/justicethroughcode), which helps previously incarcerated people re-enter the workforce. If you're passionate about helping others learn to code, it's a great program to check out.
Recently, I've added a chatGPT powered assistant to Codeamigo, to help learners when they get stuck. Someone in the ed-tech space once told me that over 95% of learners quit once they reach an error that they can't recover from. I hope that we can use AI to assist experts and learners alike.
If you're interested in trying out the demo: https://codeamigo.dev/v2/lesson/hello-codeamigo/step/intro

About Codecademy: Has it changed there a lot recently? I had problems getting them to understand that I was not interested in the position a few years ago.

#7> Today's developers didn't learn binary before learning Python, why should you learn how to code without the most modern tools?
This phrasing makes me wary. There's a difference between being self-taught, and not even bothering to teach yourself the absolute fundamentals of computing, like binary...

I was about to suggest dark reader, which has a "Light mode". But it turns out that this website has poor colour contrast and most words just "disappear" with both dark or light mode.

Likewise, my vision is not very good so black-on-white is easier for me to see than gray-on-black.
