codecademy really needs to buy codeacademy.com...every time I type their name I end up there. Do it fast(by offering to buy the forum), before the guy figures out there is an actual company vying for the name and jacks up the price to 6 figures.
- revorad 15y agoI didn't notice that until just now! That is a naming blunder, but I reckon they were busy making an awesome product in a really short time. It might be best to think of a completely new name. There are still good domain names available. It just takes some patience and creative thinking.
