Most education is built on a model that doesn't work. Teachers know this. 70% of job skills are projected to change in five years. The rate of change in every field is accelerating, and it won't slow down.
ComCODE teaches the discipline of experimentation — a cycle of planning, acting, and reflecting that turns every experience into growth. We believe the most valuable skill you can learn is how to learn.
Our goal is a world where people, teams, and organizations are empowered to handle whatever comes next.
We don't pour knowledge into people. We work alongside them on their real problems, building capability through practice — not lectures.
Every program uses this cycle — plan a safe experiment, act on it, reflect on what happened. We teach you the discipline to learn from any outcome.
We are surrounded by systems we've stopped questioning. We teach you to see them, find the levers, and act with intent.
An interactive hacking game that teaches systems thinking through play. Like MIT's Scratch, but for adults — real code, real consequences, and a 40,000-member community.
1:1 and group sessions working on your real problems. We help you design experiments, run them, and extract learning from whatever happens. Over time, you stop needing us.
We solve technical and systemic problems for mission-driven organizations — and we build your team's capacity to solve their own. The entry point is your hardest problem; the outcome is a more capable organization.
"Before I discovered hackmud, I was what I would call an 'end user.' I had never looked at a line of code. Upon joining the game and its incredibly talented community, I got my first taste of JavaScript, and was exposed to ideas and information I didn't even know existed. I'm now officially pursuing a career in software engineering that would not be possible without my experience in hackmud."

"In 2017, while I was still a high school student lacking clear direction or long-term goals, I downloaded hackmud, unaware of the profound impact it would have on my journey. Its community introduced me to backend development, database systems, and advanced programming concepts. Now, having attained a BSc in Computer Science with a 4.0 GPA, and having started a Master's in Artificial Intelligence, I owe a significant debt of gratitude to hackmud."
— Bryn "tukib" Ward-Leikis
"Five years ago, a few members of the hackmud community taught me the basics of JavaScript. Through the game, I learned that programming can be fun and fell in love. This passion for programming pushed me to keep learning, and without it I would not be working as a software developer."
