How a Homeless Man Learned to Code
Patrick McConlogue, a young computer programmer who had moved to New York City to make his fortune, saw a spark in the homeless man he passed on the way to work every day. One day, he approached Leo Grand and offered him two choices: 1) $100 or 2) a cheap laptop and the chance to learn to code. Without hesitation, Grand chose "door number 2." Watch to see what Grand, a passionate environmentalist, decides to do with his new-found skills.
