   We don't have an opt-out yet, but we'll certainly consider. Curious — why isn't the 'challenge-ification' desirable to you? It feels pressurising? Please feel free to email me if you prefer to keep it private! sarup

   Strange - what do you see when “down”? Is there an error screen?

   We love playing a role in helping companies that are invested in the growth of their developers! Since this launch, we've been getting inbound from developers keen to work with us on getting a pilot with their companies. We're exc

   Great book. A lot of our customers mention it, in addition to (unrelated) Designing Data-Intensive Applications. There's also http://aosabook.org/en/index.html

   I've also listed out some of the folks with public CodeCrafters profiles from some the highlighted companies here (Cloudflare, Docker, AWS, Stripe, Microsoft, Vercel, Sourcegraph) — randomly selected. If you look them up, you'd ge

    It's understandable it feels that way. That list is actually old, and we should have added a lot more now. Here are some randomly-chosen examples of engineers at my fav developer-oriented companies: Cloudflare — https://code

    Great question. We see customers try us for both types of value (short-term means to an end, as well as long term continuous investment). Some use-cases we've heard from customers: 1. Onboarding oneself into a new language (for experie

    I'm glad we didn't have it, or it wouldn't strike us to build this! :-D Jokes aside, completely agree! Some customers tell us they think of CodeCrafters as the "missing semester" once they've started working.

    Thanks for your recommendation! You're right, us developers are naturally curious people and we need to feed that curiosity. We're collecting interest on some upcoming challenges here https://vote.codecrafters.io , with

    Thanks so much for flagging! Sorry the keyboard sounds were annoying — I almost thought that was the highlight of the video :)

    Ooh, super interesting. Thank you! We weren't aware of Unidays / StudentBeans, indeed sounds like something we should explore. We have organically seen students sign up — so I'm sure a more favorable pricing to them could go

    Thanks 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

    Rustlings for other languages seems like a really good idea, thanks! Were you doing Rustlings as part of onboarding at a new job / project, or as a hobby?

    From a customer call I had last night — They were 4 years into their job, and felt that their job was mostly cobbling together a bunch of frameworks. Nothing wrong with that, but they constantly had the itch of not knowing how the pieces r

    Thank you! Our language support mechanism is OSS, and we welcome community contributions. It's designed in such a way that you don't strictly need to have knowledge of the course material to be able to add support for a language.

    Thanks for your question. If I understand right, you mean for example projects that involve a frontend web component? That's on the cards (e.g we have Build your own React on the pipeline). There are unique challenges to making that ex

    Gotcha, I got this. I'm happy to spend some time on Figma hand-crafting a super slick certificate for you. Just reach out and ask!

    True. From our research and speaking with customers, many tech companies have learning / professional development budgets in the range of $500-$5000. Often they're trust-based, and self-directed, so engineers are free to spend the

    Thanks for signing up, excited to see what you build! Our quarterly and annual plans are both one-time, so you should be good! I also verified your details on Stripe and can confirm this.
