And in order to effectively get things done with technology, to some extent, you do want to understand how that technology works. And I think a lot of people do have like a decent understanding of how RAM works, how motherboards work.

how hard drives work how buses work um like like a lot of the actual computer engineering stuff that like you know the software is operating on top of and we could certainly get much more higher resolution understanding of that by looking at the underlying operating system you know kernel and things like that i will tell you what the free code curriculum is doing but but like in general i do recommend if you're not sure where to start starting web and then work work out from there

And don't feel like, oh, websites are like, you know, nobody uses websites anymore. Like that's just the tip of the iceberg of what web development is. Like gaming, any sort of field where you're essentially writing software, there's going to be some component that travels over the internet, right? And so a lot of those principles.

So without belaboring that point any further, I will tell you where the free cocaine curriculum is headed.

Please do. So about six months ago, the CEO of CompTIA reached out to me. really chill dude named Todd Thibodeau.

And he said, he said, I love free code camp. I use it every day. Where can I send a donation? I was like, okay, cool. And I sent him like our, our bank details, a wire of a quarter million dollars.

Yeah. So, so like, I'm like, awesome. This is great. Like I need to learn more about CompTIA. And I made it like a tweet, you know, thanking CompTIA for their gift. And then it was just amazing. The feedback on that tweet, like everybody was jumping in and saying amazing things about CompTIA.

Like, oh yeah, CompTIA, you know, I've been A plus certified or I have had the security plus and it's been like, Everybody at my company has to get Security Plus as part of their continuing education. All these people talking about it, people are getting CompTIA certification as part of their degree program, all this stuff.

And I was like, whoa, there's so much interest in these rigorous CompTIA type certifications. We've always had rigorous certifications, but they've never been like... Industry style certification has always been like proof of learning is how we look at them, right? Like you complete a free code game certification, you build all the projects, you've got tons of proof of learning.

And people ask me, oh, can I get a job with my free code game certification? And I always said, it's a proof of learning. It's one of many, like a basket of things that are on your resume that make you a compelling candidate for a job. But I've never said like, oh, you know, it's like a guaranteed job. And I don't think any certifications guarantee jobs or anything like that.
