Dr.
Dave:                      00:17                Yeah,
I think so. So we’re going to talk about Alchemy Code Lab. Where did Alchemy
Code Lab come from?

Marty:                          00:25                Well
it really was a bit of serendipity. I’ve been in software development for a
little over two decades now. Most of it as either a developer or a leader
within a development organization. I left a company. I was working remotely for
about six, seven years and September of 2013 they wanted either me to move to
San Diego or we were going to go separate ways. I had family, kids here and I
was like, thanks no thanks. Good amicable break. I had one of those moments
when you have a bit of a pause where you’re like, huh, what’s next? I had as a
developer had gotten really into JavaScript and this was really about 2000,
2013 is really the current ibex or the modern era of technology that we’re in.
Cloud based services and HTML5 and web apps are taking off.

Marty:                          01:19                I
decided to try startup stuff. I’d always been in midsize companies or
enterprise environments. So I did some dumb consulting freelance, find some
entrepreneurs, help them out and was doing that. One of those moments, I think
we have in our life where I saw someone posted something about teaching and it
was just like, you get that draw ever, you’re like I got to go check that out.
You don’t know why, but you’re just interested. There’s a code school out of
Seattle called Code Fellows. They were the first code school in Seattle in
2013. There’s like 19 or 20 now.

Dr.
Dave:                      01:54                Really?

Marty:                          01:54            &nbs...
