The Backstory of Jiki: Building a Better Way to Learn to Code

The Backstory of Jiki

After a decade running Exercism, I noticed too many beginners were turning away because the platform wasn't built for them. Jiki is my answer: a project-based learning experience that removes confusing language features and teaches coding through making real things. By running a bootcamp and refining the curriculum, I created a freemium platform designed to make programming accessible and fun for everyone, regardless of their background.

"I believe people learn to code by coding - not by watching someone else do it, not by answering multiple choice questions, not by writing a line of code to finish an exercise, but by actually writing real programs and solving problems."
