Comment on Codecademy vs. Scroll Kit

Comments

How does scrollkit compete with code academy? Scrollkit seems to be for building websites, while code academy is for teaching people programming.

I think that's sort of the point. I don't think they compete, but what's interesting is people's perception that they do. It serves to highlight this tension between expectations of tech literacy going up at the same time as tools are making coding skills less necessary for building things on the web.

Oh I get it. People were ditching code academy because instead of learning to code, they could just use ScrollKit instead. I thought people were actually saying "ScrollKit is better at teaching me to code than Code Academy is."
