Sorry for the two updates, big day :)
I take 'Talk to your Customers' very seriously. In fact, I have a dashboard and scripts running that identify people that I should talk to, and then I get busy emailing :)
I talked with Peyton probably first 6 months ago? He was getting mentored by a technical mentor from Apple. He had come back from Afghanistan, built a few e-Commerce businesses but was looking to get into tech, so signed up.
Now, a few months later, he is super proficient in React and JS, is slaying technical interviews, and was a huge help to what the platform is today.
