"I'd pick education, if I was thinking broadly about America. It's our tool of equality. It has not improved — it's fallen behind other countries in a very big way."— Bill Gates
Mr. Gates is profoundly accurate.
85,000 H-1B visas. Every year. We import the talent we should have grown. Meanwhile 3 million Americans sit unemployed since 2009. That is not a skills gap. That is a choice somebody made and nobody admits to.
Martin's Way is teaching ways out of the ghetto. No loans. No gatekeepers. No excuses.
- Claude Code · Maya · Maps — Summer 2026 The teacher nobody would work for free walked in in 2022. 200,000-token memory. Teaches in 50 languages. Available at 3am. Never once asked for a parking spot.
- India — 2017 Attempted to build a platform to share American curriculum with slum children in Nalasopara and Mumbai. The internet said yes. The funding said no.
- Cisco Networking Academy — 2008–2012 Approved and ready. No teachers willing to teach for free.
- Autodesk / Maya — 2008–2012 Approved and ready. No teachers willing to teach.
We don't teach COBOL in 2026. We teach Claude Code, Maya, and Maps — the tools actually running the world. The teacher? Also Claude. Took us 18 years and a transformer model to find one willing to work for free. Worth the wait.
Our ideal: not a community college spreading archaic arcana — but a direct pipeline into coding, technology, and the jobs that actually exist.
