Yeah happy to give answers, these are to the best of my knowledge on the spot here and I didn't ask around to my team, but can if there are followups. I don't know how closely we monitor Reddit specifically but it falls under "Socials" and isn't notable enough to stand out as its own source as far as I know. And we do not track down to the subreddit in our attribution models that I'm aware of. Anecdotally, people who found us on Reddit surprisingly came more from the Leetcode sub where people are preparing for interviews and asking for help and they have referred to that as how they found us, or that they saw my official Reddit-sanctioned AMA that is aging now. Anecdotally a couple people have told me that they saw my posts in this sub and those people have been experienced engineers later in their careers, but they didn't mention discovering or being woo'd by them generally. The exception is Codesmith alumni have told me they agree with a lot of what I say and that made me seem credible to them in making their decision, but not the primary factor. We do not consider this subreddit a customer acquisition channel no. I don't think our marketing person could name specific subreddits of interest without looking them up so she wouldn't say any specific sub was. As I said above, Reddit as a whole is an acquisition channel under Socials. Partnerships. No formal with any bootcamp. Informal relationships with many, but define partnership. Some have asked Sophie to speak to their alumni or speak at events. But that isn't an ongoing relationship and speakers generally aren't a partnership. The closest thing that possibly comes to mind is we have a formal partnership with Taro. And we have or had formal partnerships with a number of non profits that support people in tech, like Women Who Code. And we have a very small partnership with The Last Mile to help justice impacted individuals prepare for interviews.
