I kept noticing that most "learn to code" content is tutorials you copy-paste, so I never had to actually understand why anything worked. I built this to flip that: each lesson gives you a real spec (e.g. implement the Redis SET/GET protocol) and you write the code yourself, then it actually runs against tests. Right now there are 80+ of these "build X from scratch" courses — Redis, a database, Git, a compiler, a con…

Is this going to remain free? I´d love an open source project like this where I could run the tests in my own machine.

bots are hitting tons of endpoints bro. You can keep using the platform as guest

Why are you talking like this?

I do not care that much but all this user's comments sound like they are unprofessional / 10 years old. Careless commenting to everything while trying to promote a product that's already rather broken.

All the codecrafters content is available on Github too, for free.

But can you run it on their platform? NO, you need to run it on your own machine which takes a bit of work. And we have over 80 courses waaay over whatever codecrafters has

> you need to run it on your own machine

Isn't that the best part of codecrafters? Being able to just use your own text editor instead of a janky web based one which loses everything you typed on page refresh?

Vibe coded AI Slop?

Looked at the 'build your own os kernel' course and it doesn't appear to be written as a course by someone with experience in teaching that. A normal course also introduces and builds on concepts.

This appears to be generic info laid into topics.

Vibe coded AI Slop? Feel free to contribute (even with the help of ai). If something closer to it exits I wouldnt have made it

My advice to you:

Mark each course as beginner/intermediary/advanced and the required background knowledge assumed. As people have very different levels of experience.

Take some course in learning how to teach.
