Good for him, and good for Codecademy. While a largely symbolic gesture, it can certainly never hurt to have political leaders be at least somewhat familiar with technology, especially when they're trying to create a new SV. I hope this is an actual intention and not just an empty PR move. He could, however, score a massive PR win both for himself and for NYC as a tech center by taking Codecademy up on their offer and showing up for lessons in person.
- fauigerzigerk 15y agoIt is a symbolic move, but the interesting thing about it is that this kind of symbolism wouldn't work in most other places on this planet.
- goatcurious 15y agoAgree, and it wouldn't have worked for even New York a couple of years ago. Right now, one of the biggest advantages for New York startups is the terrific (& free) PR push from Bloomberg himself. Go Codecademy!
