I’m finishing my 4th week at CodeSignal and it’s been a whirlwind of new people, ideas, and culture. I’m traveling home from my first onsite with them and I’d like to reflect a bit on what brought me here. Back in 2013, web development was seeing a bit of a revolution as we moved from static, back-end, technologies to heavy front-end focused “Single Page Applications” (SPAs).  My good friend Dennis Burton and I were doing a lot with these budding technologies and trying to figure out a fun and exciting way to teach the concept to others. We came up with a full-day CodeMash Conference workshop (hundreds of learners) with an accompanying application called Choose Your Own Application.  It took inspiration from the well-loved childhood book series to let the learner make choices as they built a full-blown application.  The learner was given the opportunity to choose their frontend framework (Backbone or Knockout… it was 2013), their language (JavaScript or CoffeeScript… see 2013), their backend framework (Node.js, Rails, or ASP.NET), and their deployment platform (Heroku or Azure).  There were dozens of permutations.  It was a LOT of content.  A LOT to test. The experience was VERY well received.  I was so honored and humbled by the number of people who learned that day.  After it was done, we asked: can we scale this to other content paths?  We laughed it off and said “nah, that was fun but it would be too much work”. If you know me, I get my energy from helping other people learn things.  That’s why I joined Khan Academy and stayed with them for 8 years.  Ultimately, it’s what led me to take the Director of Content and Content Platform at CodeSignal.  Although it’s not _exactly_ the same thing, I’m a part of a team now that is scaling the ideas behind Choose Your Own Application.  CodeSignal Learn (https://lnkd.in/gXHuMEKQ) is the most innovative technical learning platform I’ve seen yet.  We’re developing content at a VERY fast pace and we will for a very long time. Unlike static video or blog-base learning, we have a PRACTICE-based platform with an AI teacher/tutor named Cosmo (a space corgi!).  It’s all about mastery-based learning inside the browser IDE and Cosmo guiding you the entire way.  The entire experience is in a single place. I have only been here 4 weeks and I’m already extremely proud of what we’re building.  Watch this space.  We have some amazing content coming your way.

In our conversations with over 100 founders, we’ve learned some key strategies that can be implemented while setting up winning teams that follow ideas to execution. Here 👇

In building an effective team especially for startups, strong leadearship is crucial in guiding team members towards achieving thier goals. Good leaders empower thier team by making leadership all inclusive where every member’s input is valued. While technical skills are important this shouldn’t be the sole focus. Every good team should be willing to adapt and learn for the greater good of the organization.
