Exercism is full of heroes. They fly under the radar, making a significant impact on many people’s lives through their attention, kindness and authenticity :blue_heart:

Isaac is a hero (he’ll tell me off for saying it…but he is!). He has helped many, many students maintain momentum in their programming education.

More impressively, he gets on quietly, consistently and often without reward.

Isaac is amazing! I can’t believe how much I learned from being mentored by him on just a couple of exercises (on the Bash track). Will definitely watch the podcast! :+1: And then continue with the exercises :grin:

My favorite part of this is the advice at the very end.

I’m not going to spoil it here though :grinning:

All I will say is… we’re all optimizing for the wrong thing

Hi Isaac,

I loved hearing the insights you offered on the Exercism podcast.

The 2 main takeaways for me where:

  • Stick with it and don’t give up
  • Readability > Optimization

Thank you.
