I’ve been working on Cora, a new way to learn how to program. It consists of a new programming language, optimized for learning, and a hand-crafted interactive learning environment together with lessons and challenges.

It was April 4th, 2016, and our bootstrapped SaaS company, Mealime, was doing just fine, thank you very much. At $6,600 MRR and near-0 costs, it earned enough for its 3 founders, Jeff, Maria and me, to live off of. Sure, it was no monumental success.

Neural networks are a beautiful concept. They are also beautiful to watch.
