I don’t understand the title? How do you get ‘rejected’ by Code Academy? It’s not a ‘boot camp’ with an application process. You either do the free lessons offered, or pay up for one of the ‘Pro’ level tiers.
This title seems sensational, and it’s misleading to people not familiar with Code Academy. Considering that, it doesn’t sell me on this product. In fact it makes me not even want to look at the lessons offered, since the premise feels dishonest.
Edit: I don’t think I’m the only one that read it that way based in other comments. Honest mistake, it looks like English is not the authors first language.
- radlad 5y agoI assumed he meant rejected as a job candidate.
- HiroProtagonist 5y agoI think he applied to work there and was rejected, as opposed to applying as a student.
- 40four 5y agoThanks, that makes more sense. Totally misread that. The blog post was buried at the bottom didn’t make it that far.

You either do the free lessons offered, or pay up for one of the ‘Pro’ level tiers. From his blog: > I've applied to work at Codecademy three times, once in 2014, again in 2015, and most recently in 2020. I've been rejected all three times. I wanted to prove to myself I was capable of building something like it, so I decided to build my own version.
- 40four 5y agoThanks, I didn’t dig deep enough to find the editblog buried at the bottom. That definitely clears things up.
