Addressing Comments About CodingPhase.com on Reddit

Setting the record straight about our platform, our mission, and our commitment to student success.

I usually don't engage with Reddit, because let's be real—Reddit is not the best place for career advice. Most of my students don't use it, and neither do I, because the platform leans heavily towards negativity, memes, and complaints rather than productive discussions.

However, since Google ranks Reddit discussions high in search results, I want to set the record straight for those who are genuinely interested in CodingPhase.com and what we offer.

⭐ Where Are the CodingPhase Reviews?

We've been in business since 2017—over 7 years—and have helped thousands of students worldwide learn web development and land jobs.

Why Don't We Have Paid Reviews Like Other Platforms?

Unlike most companies, we don't pay for reviews. Many so-called "review platforms" like Trustpilot charge high fees for businesses to feature their reviews, and we choose not to pass that cost onto students.

Here are some articles about these paid review platforms:

Instead of paying for reviews, we let real student results speak for themselves. That's why we have our Hall of Fame—featuring real success stories from students who have followed our curriculum and landed jobs:

🔥 Check it out: CodingPhase Hall of Fame

We also have countless YouTube comments from real students saying:

"Thanks to Joe and CodingPhase, I got a job!"

💡 You can't fake results for over 7 years. If CodingPhase wasn't delivering, people wouldn't keep recommending it.

💰 1. Yes, CodingPhase is a Paid Platform

A common complaint I see is: "Why do I have to pay for CodingPhase?"

🔹 The truth is, most people who join CodingPhase have already tried free resources—YouTube videos, freeCodeCamp, and even bootcamps—before realizing they need more structured help.

🔹 Running CodingPhase costs over $20,000 per month (hosting, marketing, salaries, support, and continuous course updates).

🔹 Unlike free YouTube tutorials, we offer:

  • ✅ Support—we actually answer your emails.
  • ✅ Live coaching—4-hour sessions per week.
  • ✅ Real-world projects—so you can build a job-ready portfolio.
  • ✅ Curriculum built for job placement—not just random coding exercises.

💡 Yes, free resources exist, but they don't provide this level of support or structure. That's why CodingPhase is a paid platform.

🏋️ 2. CodingPhase is Not for Everyone—It's Like a Gym

Think of CodingPhase.com as a gym for your tech career:

🏋️ The gym itself = The platform & courses

📖 The workouts = The structured lessons & projects

🎤 The trainers = Live coaching & mentorship

🥗 The diet = The Tech Accelerator curriculum

If you don't show up or don't follow the program, you won't see results. There's no magic wand that turns you into a developer overnight.

This is a 50/50 deal—you put in the work, and we provide everything you need to succeed.

🌍 3. CodingPhase is a Global Platform, But We Don't Offer 24/7 Support

We operate 9 AM - 5 PM EST and respond to questions as quickly as possible.

For $90/month or $365/year, you're getting more value than 94% of bootcamps at a fraction of the cost.

However, that doesn't mean we can provide instant, 24/7 support. A bootcamp that charges $15,000+ can afford a massive support team—we keep costs low so more people can afford to learn.

💡 If you expect instant, round-the-clock responses, that's not what we offer. But if you want real training, job-focused courses, and direct mentorship, you won't find a better deal anywhere else.

🔄 4. Are CodingPhase Courses Outdated? No, We Teach What Gets You Hired

I see this a lot: "Is CodingPhase outdated?"

The short answer: No.

Here's the truth:

We only update courses when there's a major industry shift or breaking change.

For example, when React switched from class components to hooks, we rebuilt our React course.

When Laravel changed its folder structure, we updated our Laravel course.

We don't waste time updating courses just for minor version changes (e.g., React 29.0.1 → 29.0.2)—that's a marketing gimmick many Udemy instructors use to resell the same content.

🚀 Instead, we focus on teaching fundamentals so well that students can read documentation and adapt to minor changes on their own. That's what employers actually want.

📺 5. The CodingPhase Website vs. YouTube Channel

Another misunderstanding:

💻 CodingPhase.com This is where real work happens (structured courses, live coaching, project reviews).

📺 CodingPhase YouTube This is a more relaxed space for community interaction, casual discussions, and fun.

Yes, we joke around and have fun on live streams, but that doesn't mean the CodingPhase platform isn't serious about helping students succeed.

Remember, YouTube is a social platform—not everything on it should be taken literally.

🛡️ 6. Is CodingPhase a Scam? No. Here's Why.

I see some people throwing the word scam around, so let's be very clear:

💡 A scam is when someone tells you, "Give me $15,000, and I'll get you a $150K job," but then they don't deliver.

📌 We have NEVER made promises like that.

Unlike some bootcamps or social media influencers, we keep it 100% real with our students.

🚀 We focus on entry-level jobs that typically pay $65K to $85K.

If you expect a shortcut or overnight success, this isn't for you. But if you're willing to put in the work, we have everything you need to succeed.

💭 Final Thoughts: Why I'm Addressing This

I don't usually respond to Reddit posts because most of my students aren't even on Reddit—they're too busy building careers.

That being said, I know Google indexes Reddit discussions, so I wanted to make sure the truth is out there.

If you want real insights, check out:

  • ✅ Our YouTube channel (real student success stories).
  • ✅ Our Discord & student community (where real learners help each other).
  • ✅ CodingPhase.com (where students actually get hired).

At the end of the day, CodingPhase is for people who want real results. If you're ready to put in the work, we've got your back.

💪 The choice is yours.
