And so over time, we've I think we have like 35 people on the team in 21 different countries. So we're an extremely international like we've never had an office. I have never even gotten like a we work type thing. Like I've always just worked out of my, my home, uh, first my closet.

And now, uh, we moved from San Francisco to Texas and I have like a, a proper like house that has a yard that I mow every week and things like that. Right. Uh, so, so I just work out of like one of the rooms in the house. So we fly these 35 people from around the world to Texas. You're in Plano, Texas, which is like a good school district. That's why we moved here.

That's why we moved here.

It's like really good public school. And we just hang out and we go to different public libraries. Like I, I call it the library tour. Um, And we go to several different, like the Plano Library, the Coppell Library, the Louisville Library. And we go into all these different libraries for about two or three hours. And we just have these sessions.

And so these are like, if you look at the people on the team, it very much mirrors the kind of people that are contributing to the open source effort. And it's not just the open source effort on GitHub. People who are writing books and articles that we're publishing through free cocaine, press free cocaine.org slash news, people who are publishing podcasts,

And it's not just the open source effort on GitHub. People who are writing books and articles that we're publishing through free cocaine, press free cocaine.org slash news, people who are publishing podcasts,

video courses on the free code camp YouTube channel. Yeah. Like just chill human beings that feel like they can contribute to the global, you know, knowledge base essentially like, like the, the way that people acquire skills. So that's, that's a very long winded answer, but like almost everybody on the team is a developer who has also had some classroom teaching experience usually.

And everybody's a jack of all trades and, I can give you a lot of insight over the years in how the team has changed in terms of priorities and configuration, but it's basically been the same people that we brought on Maybe like four or five years ago, we had the budget to start bringing more people on because we got our charity tax-exempt status.

And then we started getting donations from the community. And those donations have gradually grown. We've also gotten some ad revenue from YouTube and display ads. If you go to the Free Code Camp publication, you might see ads for upcoming conferences or books and things like that. And that has helped us. kind of expand and sustain ourselves as a charity. So the team has not grown a lot.
