nwinter | 11 years ago | on: Time-lapse video of Bethany's maniac week of coding

You probably wouldn't want to even click the TMZ link in the first place when you knew you were making the video, since the post-production is so onerous. It's like a precommitment that you're not going to get distracted. In fact, when I did my maniac week, I precommitted to not doing any post-processing, and it helped me focus a lot. I would think, "hmm, I wonder what the strongest dog is!" but then realize I couldn't slack off on video, so I wouldn't even Google it like normal.

We do have a lot of students and teachers using it, but we haven't built a long-enough beginner campaign to provide much of a curriculum yet. That's something we'll be focusing on starting in early fall as US schools start swinging again.

Our mission is to become the way that pretty much everyone learns to program.
