Summary

This week on ReDirected, I got to chat with a co-founder of Coder, Ammar Bandukwala. Coder’s three co-founders — Bandukwala, Kyle Carberry, and John Andrew Entwistle — first met online while in high school. The three were soon collaborating to build and monetize Minecraft plugins and servers, eventually moving on to a series of other projects, some successful, some not. Frustrated by the complexities of collaborating remotely on software development, after graduation Ammar, Kyle, and John Andrew moved to Austin and started Coder to create the development tools they wish had been available for them. The trio rented a building they nicknamed “The Shack,” hired a couple of developers, and got to work. If you haven’t yet, please rate Redirected and subscribe to hear more.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome back to Redirected. My name is Andrew East and this is
0:10.4	show we sit down and talk with the wild twist and turns that life can throw at
0:14.0	as whether it's in our career or our personal life. We are sitting down and
0:18.8	talking with people who have made it through these unexpected events well in
0:22.9	order to glean some wisdom and also here's some pretty entertaining stories.

0:29.6	sitting down and talking with people who are redirecting the future. Our guest
0:33.0	today is Amara Bendakwala and he is the co-founder and CTO at coder.com. So his
0:39.6	story is amazing. I really enjoyed our conversation. He started in the
0:43.9	video game realm and was creating these servers for Minecraft. Had a really
0:49.6	nice little career there at an early age and it was through that that he
0:53.8	met his co-founders Kyle and John before they even entered high school. So
0:58.1	they were still really young and after high school graduation they began working
1:01.4	on the developer tool that they wished they had when they were building all
1:05.8	these things and so that's how coder.com formed. Coder aims to make software
1:11.4	development more efficient and they have more than six million downloads of their
1:15.6	open source software and fourteen million dollars in funding. Anyway I think

1:24.0	appreciate him sitting down and having this conversation with me. If you want to
1:26.9	learn more about coder.com and what Amara and team are up to I will link
