Hey everyone. My names Rick. Im the person Adam is interviewing. If any of you are interested in learning more about Underdog Devs, please reach out to us on Twitter @RwoltX and @UnderdogDevs or directly to underdogdevs.org

We are always looking for people who would like to get involved

the most common involvement is mentoring and pair programming

we also could use help in other areas...someone to help develop partnerships, admin, and general marketing.

as for donations ... Everything we receive goes directly to the mission. We do not take a dime to pay for any salaries. None of us do. We work as volunteers. Every penny we receive goes to learning resources and to the stipend program to pay the bills of our most gritty who are held back due to their financial situation.

I enjoyed the podcast and also reading your balanced replies on Hacker News. It seems like you're not easily offended and you've had enough experience to understand why people take other (extreme) views.
thanks. I try.
I found you so optimistic in tone about your path, the randomness, the unfairness.. it was very strange to me, I'm so quickly angry.

Good luck for the rest
