Codesmith vs Pepper

Software Engineering Immersive Academy and Learning Platform

Codesmith teaches students across the US modern programing with Javascript so they can take roles as Software Engineers or launch their own ventures after graduating. We're transforming Software Engineering Education through our immersive platform and academies at schools across the US including Harvard, MIT & Stanford and the leading career accelerator in Los Angeles

Our founders had the privilege to attend Harvard, Oxford and Yale but saw the limitations of what they'd learned - the need for practical experience with code and the empowering impact of being able to build and execute on ideas. They set out to solve this problem for students while they're still at school - to unite their theoretical studies with the practical ability to build with code. The result was Codesmith

We prepare students for the most fulfilling, high-paying and impactful Software engineering roles and to help them start their own ventures. Every student graduates with the ability to build and with a portfolio of live projects. Students include CS majors, liberal arts students and MBAs - working together to learn the five pillars of modern programing as we see them: CS fundamentals, frontend, backend, mobile development and engineering mentalities - all taught in Javascript (we teach mobile using ReactJS native)

Pepper blocks robocalls from ever buzzing your phone.

Pepper is a spam filter for your phone calls. Most other robocall blocking apps flag suspicious calls by adding something like “Scam Likely” to the caller ID, but they still (annoyingly) ring your phone. Instead, Pepper stops these spam calls from ever buzzing your phone in the first place, so you don’t even get call notifications unless they’re confirmed to be from a human.

Here’s how it works:
- Download the Pepper app (callpepper.co/#/app)
- Make an account
- During setup, dial a magic phone number we’ll provide for you
- Robocalls get blocked
