YC alums Zach Sims and Ryan Bubinski were recently honored in Apple’s 30 Years of Mac campaign.
After he dropped out of Columbia University, Zach Sims — along with his former classmate Ryan Bubinski — started Codecademy, an online platform that teaches aspiring engineers to write code. Inspired by how the Mac allowed anyone to master technology, they used it to design a friendly interface with simple, interactive lessons. An instant Internet sensation, Codecademy would become the most popular way to learn what some call the most valuable language of the 21st century.
