Indeed, you're right — it's companies where our engineer customers work. It's been a while since we looked at that list tho, so it probably could use a refresh!
For some companies on that list, we do have more than one engineer subscribing, and for in many cases we've spoken to them to learn about their motivations and feedback. We also have a Private Leaderboards feature for teams.
In the past few months, a nice small win for Paul and I is what we like to call the "Slack Share Effect".
It's when one of our users shares CodeCrafters within their company Slack, and then we notice multiple new users that work at the same company. When we get in touch with them, I always enjoy asking "how did the OP describe CodeCrafters on Slack?" and 100% of the time, I discover that customers do a better job describing CodeCrafters than we ourselves could. It's also how we uncover use-cases :)

Fwiw I like the idea and will look at subscribing myself later. These are projects I see as magic and would love to know more about, especially Docker and SQLite.

That gives me an idea for a tagline! "We explain the magic"
They probably have one guy at a company and add it, based on a survey/form where people could in theory lie about where they work or add previous positions if they're unemployed. Note the companies aren't subscribers, an 'engineer' from that company is a subscriber.
