1. Dodged a bullet (booo on any company that would reject someone with this level of passion).
Considering what he writes on https://docs.codeamigo.dev/blog/why-codeamigo https://docs.codeamigo.dev/blog/why-codeamigo, I would assume that he has a somewhat different vision on the product than Codeacademy.
- codingdave 5y agoAgreed - passion is great when aligned with the business direction, but can be downright toxic when in conflict.
- masklinn 5y agoI can only concur, having someone who's extremely passionate about a project but whose vision diverges drastically from the project's leads is hell all around. Given GP seems to indeed have quite divergent opinions about the product's focus: > What bothered me about the platform was that I didn't know or connect with my teachers. I wanted to connect with members of my community and learn from them, instead of just digesting information from a black box. then it's probably a better thing that they went and created their own version focused on what they think is important.
- samstave 5y agoIts where "mac fanbois" or "BOFHs" come from... I worked with a guy who was so mac focused he was blind to other tools/perspectives and it was often a friction point between team-members...
