I use Mail for Good every week to send my email blast to 3.5 million people. It works fine and is stable.

We haven't made any big changes to it recently because it hasn't broken. There is definitely some maintenance we could do as far as updating libraries.

We're hoping to re-write parts of it to use AWS Lambda instead of a Linux server, so we can further simplify use of it for less-technical users (a lot of nonprofits don't have developers on staff).

Please delete this post. This is a private email I sent to the author. It was not intended to be shared on Twitter.

We just want to move on and focus on the future.

I've written a detailed argument for why passwordless auth (using email or some sort of reliable auth) is more secure than using passwords: https://medium.freecodecamp.org/360-million-reasons-to-destr...

The risk factors associated with how humans use passwords vastly outweigh the risk of data being captured in transit.

I'm the guy who created freeCodeCamp. This article has some nice visualizations and insights, but gets one important thing wrong. Read it, but also read my response to it https://medium.com/@quincylarson/i-love-your-graphs-and-anal...

If you create a GitHub issue asking for this and explaining the use cases involved, then sure - we can look into creating this. https://www.github.com/freecodecamp/mail-for-good/issues/new

Thanks for the heads-up on Twitter that someone submitted this to HN. Yes - we'd welcome your help improving the UI. We have a Gitter room: https://gitter.im/freecodecamp/mail-for-good and introduce yourself.

The FCC refuses to comment and all Verizon says is: "Mr. Nugyen (sic) is mistaken.”

They are buying time because they know that once they repeal the 2015 net neutrality protections, none of their crimes will technically be crimes anymore.

Gitter has been a huge part of freeCodeCamp's community since the beginning. Thousands of people have asked questions there, and most of them have gotten helpful answers quickly. This is thanks to the experienced developers who contribute their time and expertise in there.

Like IRC, it's a great platform to ask and answer questions on. Find the right rooms and talk to the right people.

This is Quincy with freeCodeCamp. Congratulations on your new job, and your diverse portfolio.

Getting a job as a new developer after only 4 rejections is a great batting average. Sean Smith rejected 192 times before getting a job at Trustar. https://medium.freecodecamp.org/how-i-learned-to-code-and-ea...
