In their words
the pro is you'll get what you asked for the con is you'll get what you asked for
had I not taken the time to teach myself how to code I probably would have never created change up
part of the teaching myself is like understanding the pain points of the people who would be working with me one day
Quick answers
Who is Rafael Reis?
The founder of ChangeUP, a Vancouver app that organised personal finances for people without a single steady paycheque. It operated as Reis Financial Solutions Inc. and has since shut down.
What was his talk about?
That non-technical founders should learn to code from day one. He wrote a 26-page proposal in 2015 looking for a software engineer, was told the scope was too big, and spent two months on Code Academy instead.
Is ChangeUP still running?
No. The iOS app has been delisted and the company's domain no longer serves the product.
What is Rafael Reis doing now?
Not established. ChangeUP has shut down, and no public source read for this page states where he works today. This page does not publish from LinkedIn or contact-data aggregators.
