Tech satire for people who love (and hate) tech.
AI SaaS Company's Most Technically Proficient Marketer Has Completed Exactly Three Codecademy Modules

In an unprecedented achievement, the marketing department at SaaS startup TechPulse proudly announced that their most technically knowledgeable team member, Digital Marketing Specialist Jordan Willis, has successfully completed a total of three Codecademy modules.

“It’s been transformative,” said Willis during a recent all-hands meeting. “Now, when developers talk about API endpoints, I no longer panic. I just nod wisely and say, ‘We’ll have to A/B test that.’”

Colleagues in marketing described Willis’s technical prowess as “unmatched” within the team, noting his impressive grasp of HTML tags and moderate familiarity with CSS selectors. “He once casually mentioned ‘JavaScript arrays’ during a Zoom call, and I knew then we were in the presence of a true guru,” remarked fellow marketer Lisa Tran.

Company CTO Amit Chatterjee, when asked about the marketing team’s rising technical expertise, commented thoughtfully, “Honestly, it’s reassuring to know at least one marketer can identify where to put a closing tag. But it does get awkward when he asks if Git is ‘some kind of new social media platform.’”

Willis, meanwhile, has begun leveraging his newfound authority to advise product management on technical product features. “After finishing Codecademy’s introductory Python module,” he stated confidently, “I firmly believe our platform could benefit greatly from integrating machine learning algorithms. Or maybe blockchain. Possibly both.”

Marketing Director Samantha Chen praised Willis for his initiative. “Jordan’s commitment to completing an astonishing three modules has really set a new bar. We’re now considering him for a new dual role: Senior Digital Marketing Specialist and Lead Engineering Liaison. No one really knows what that means, but it sounds technically credible.”

Willis plans to continue deepening his technical expertise, aiming ambitiously to complete a fourth Codecademy module—possibly something related to SQL—by the end of next quarter. “I’m ready to take this all the way,” he affirmed. “I’ve even started pronouncing ‘SQL’ correctly, mostly.”
