2M users but no money in the bank

2M users. No money in the bank. Erik's leaving. Exercism Teams. A new coding fundamentals platforms. There's a lot of news...

But the effort it takes to find advertisers and manage them, and my general desire not to flood Exercism with adverts, has meant that I feel this isn't a very sustainable strategy. Erik's a die-hard Exercism fan, and he's going to continue as a senior maintainer of a few tracks, and he'll hold onto his super-admin privileges, but the plethora of hidden (and often a bit boring) things that he does day-to-day need to get spread across the organisation. I'm also planning (probably 90% certain) of running a dedicated learn-to-code course from Jan-March 2025, where I can test out some of what we've been building, and I can get my hands dirty working with the students who existing platforms don't serve.
