Hello! Welcome to the about page. My name is Jeremy GrifskiOpens in a new tab., and I’m the founder of The Renegade Coder, a software education website officially launched in April 2017. The purpose of The Renegade Coder is two-fold:

  1. To provide free software curriculum to the developer community (see Code and Teach)
  2. To document my journey as a developer, author, and mentor (see Blog and Meta)

As long as I’m true to those ideals, we’ll all be satisfied. Of course, to sustain that mission, I rely on support from people like you. If you’d like to show your support, make sure to become a memberOpens in a new tab., hop on the mailing list, or follow me on TwitterOpens in a new tab..

If you’re interested in learning more about me, check out my portfolioOpens in a new tab.. Meanwhile, if you’d like to learn more about the website, feel free to take a look at the following documents:

With that said, as inspired by Alex EwerlöfOpens in a new tab., I feel I must state that I have not, do not, and will never use generative AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude at any point in my writing process. In addition, while I offer the content of my website to anyone who wants to learn from me, nothing I write is permitted to be used for training generative AI models. Like Alex, I am under no illusion that this kind of statement means anything to companies that will continue to scrape my work, but I owe it to myself and my readers to be transparent about where I stand in regards to generative AI.
