This looks really awesome, and as someone who loves reading source code (and works in OSS full time), this is my ideal way to learn.
The price seems sensible as long as the quality is high. The question I'd want answered before asking my employer to pay for it is how complex it can get. There's certainly value in a Redis that takes 3 hours to build, but there's a lot more value in the 30-50 hour version where you have to think through design tradeoffs and dealing with hard edge cases. It's the more complex version that I'd ask for my employer to pay $80/month for.
For context, I've been in industry for 8 years and work on the Airflow OSS project as my day job.
- sarupbanskota 4y agoThanks James! We're just getting started, and the current thinking is that we'll add depth to our courses along different "branches". e.g after you've been through the basic stages of Redis, you can continue along a path to dive deeper within the persistence aspects of Redis, or the networking aspects. You can preview the current stages for each of our courses here: https://app.codecrafters.io/tracks/go https://app.codecrafters.io/tracks/go. You can do a trial to get a feel for the learning experience. If you find that the current stages aren't at the complexity level you're looking for, you should keep an eye out for future updates (would also love to hear what other stages / branches you'd suggest for our courses)
