And that's good for everyone. It gives beginners a far better experience, and it makes Exercism better too — keeping its exercises, content, and mentoring conversations aligned with the people it was designed for.

So go and [sign up to Jiki](https://jiki.io), and let me know what you think. Oh, and [subscribe to our new YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@jiki) too — we've got lots of live streams coming up.

The youtube link seems wrong. Shorts of kittens, no mention of coding. Cute, but not obviously the right place to subscribe.
