About CoderList🎙

TL;DR Summary

🖼️ CoderList was started by two Art History grads who learnt to code.

👔 We got jobs in tech, but quit them to help people do what we did.

😞 Getting a job is hard for a newbie, and the resources for doing it suck.

We’re building things to solve that problem.

CoderList was started by two guys who left university with Art History degrees and no hard skills. 😓 Realising that our degrees were basically useless beyond a confirmation that we’d turned up and got the piece of paper, we decided we needed to become more employable - and fast. We decided to learn to code.

One failed startup and months of obsessive coding later, we had paying jobs in tech. But, we wanted more, so we decided to quit our jobs 💼 and start buiding products that would help people going through the same things that we’d just been through.

There’s already tonnes of stuff out there for people learning to code, but most of it ignores the most important step - actually getting a job as a developer at the end of it all. 👔 This process is often difficult for a newbie, and there’s no right way to do it. Coding bootcamps often offer job guarantees - but not all of us can afford (or want) to pay thousands 💰💰 for something you can either get for free or for just a fraction of the cost.

CoderList was started with the goal to give everyone learning to code the 📖 resources 💛 community ⛰️ experience and 💡 opportunities they need to get a job. Learning to code shouldn’t be expensive, but it should be fun, exciting, and challenging, and pay off big at the end with the job of your dreams 🙌

It’s early days for us, but you can already get started by building your coder profile. We’ll be releasing multiple new features over the coming weeks and months, so subscribe to our ✉️ mailing list to stay up-to-date.
