@DanWuori so well deserved! thank you for bringing the wisdom and the joy!

Just wow. I couldn’t be more grateful for - or humbled by - this lovely profile in today’s New York Times, which uplifts not only the babies who take center stage on this channel, but the community we’ve built here. I’ll post a “gift link” in the first reply below, which should allow you to read even if you’re not a @nytimes subscriber.

Bravo to @WashPostLife for front page coverage of the US child-care crisis. We stand to lose 70k programs! These pros are educating kiddos when 85% of brain development happens and we pay them below poverty wages. t.ly/TWW3A

Bravo @SPARKSchools! A well-deserved recognition for your commitment to co-creating with learners, families and communities. And, a special thanks to my friend @VikasPota for yet another great year of @BestSchoolPrize.

@BrookingsInst These issues are highly important for ALL voters – not just photos of color!

The March on Washington is a symbol for that era’s fight for freedom, equal opportunity, and social justice. Given that these issues are highly important for voters of color today, it is clear that protest politics stay relevant, says Gabriel R. Sanchez. brookings.edu/articles/ameri…

@jbarbier @alx_africa @guillaumesalva Such huge news! Congrats to you and the team - on ALL the steps since 2015!

Today is a momentous day for @alx_africa, @guillaumesalva and I, and I am thrilled to share this exciting news with all of you. It fills my heart with immense joy and gratitude to announce that we have been granted a patent for the remarkable software that we call "the checker" and that has shaped our journey and transformed the lives of countless individuals across the globe. I remember back in 2015 when we embarked on an audacious mission to redefine education. We envisioned a school where traditional barriers would be shattered, where formal teachers and lectures would make way for peer learning and hands-on projects. San Francisco became the birthplace of this revolutionary concept—a new type of school for software engineering was born: @holbertonschool. But to achieve quality education at scale, we needed something extraordinary. That's when my dear friend and CTO, Guillaume Salva, and I created a groundbreaking software that would automatically correct students' coding projects. It was a rudimentary version at first, but as we expanded from a modest group of 30 students to thousands in over 30 schools worldwide, we relentlessly iterated and improved it, with the help of the entire team, including the one and only @gautie_a. Our software became the backbone of our educational model, meticulously guiding and evaluating students' work in programming languages, coding style, commenting, and more. The impact was transformative. It empowered us to file for a patent in 2019, and I am thrilled to announce that we have now received it in the United States. Today, our software corrects more than 1 billion of lines of code each year, enabling us to serve hundreds of thousands of students globally. Today, our reach extends predominantly to Africa, where we deliver our program free of charge, thanks to the generous grants from the @MastercardFdn. The lives we have touched and the talent we have nurtured are immeasurable. Reflecting on this remarkable journey, I cannot help but remember the pivotal moment when @bibicheri, a member of our board of directors at Holberton - and since, a very good friend of mine -, suggested filing for the patent. Marie, we owe you our deepest gratitude for this monumental step forward. As we celebrate this milestone, I can't help but remember the stories we have made, the challenges we have overcome, and the growth we have achieved together. From the early days in San Francisco to joining @FredSwaniker & ALX in September 2022, every step has been a testament to the power of innovation, collaboration, and unwavering dedication. Together, we are shaping a brighter future, one line of code at a time. Let's go! #dohardthings
