Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where Codecademy comes up
The secret lever Replit pulled to scale ahead of its competition | Amjad Masad (Co-founder and CEO)
- ▶ 1:42 Todd Jackson Before Replit, Amjad's engineering career landed him in roles at Yahoo, Code Academy, and eventually Facebook, where he helped start their incredible JavaScript infrastructure team.
- ▶ 7:07 Amjad Masad Codecademy was part of that movement and they had just finished YC 6 times in the scene
- ▶ 8:25 Todd Jackson Okay, so Code Academy in 2011, and that's sort of enabled you to immigrate to the United States, and then you were there for a couple years, and then you joined the JS infrastructure team at Facebook, right?
- ▶ 13:47 Amjad Masad I thought it was a dead end because when we try to scale it at, at Code Academy, the idea of downloading tens of megabytes of JavaScript 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 17:21 Amjad Masad But then, uh, Bloomberg Beta and Roy Bahat, who, who I knew from my time at Codecademy, he was an investor there, ended up investing, I think it was like, 600 K on a six million valuation.
