The etc.. seems to imply you support more languages than Go Python and Rust. Do you support C#?
Yep! We support 14 languages, C# included.

Launch HN: CodeCrafters (YC S22) – Practice writing complex software

#82This is awesome but the only way I would be able to afford it is if my company paid for it. I'd have to make a case for prof. dev. anyway to add some sort of certification to it? HR really, really likes certificates, degrees, etc. for PD.

#83This looks very promising, I think it could be a great resource for companies that want to invest in training their developers, but don't have the resources to build a curriculum themselves. > What new courses should we add? The courses you have already are good, but are quite low-level. To broaden the applicability perhaps you could also try something like "build a REST API that matches this OpenAPI schema" (getting…
Thanks for the ideas — you're right that automating the UI-oriented testing is more difficult. We're already piloting some ideas in this area (e.g Build your own React) — but the current focus is on perfecting what we have.
Our testers are all OSS. Here's our git tester for example — https://github.com/codecrafters-io/git-tester.
Others can be found on our GitHub org. https://github.com/codecrafters-io
We need to do a better job of exposing links to testers in our in-app UI — good feedback!

#84Price point I feel is too high for specifically what it is offering. A general point I would make. In education: cost is a barrier of entry - a smaller ask might yield far more results from people in disadvantaged situations able to scrabble up ladder. A rising tide raises all ships. You are doing work creating the material and course work - I'm not saying release stuff for free. but $80/mo is something to bat an eye…
I think the reason that the charge is that high is because they are targeting 1. people who are already in the field i.e. employed and have source of income and 2. people who are serios about it. Just my $0.02.
I think the reason that the charge is that high is because they are targeting big corp's training budgets
FTFY

We do have user pages.
Here's an example of a real user's page, who's in-progress: https://codecrafters.io/users/jaredpalmer
And some examples of "completed" users: https://codecrafters.io/users/eyalfoni https://codecrafters.io/users/byarr
Do these help? Please feel free to drop me a brief note (sarup@codecrafters.io) and I'll be happy to help you write a compelling case for PD and also explore certificates.

#86Server not found. Hugged to death? Hacked?

#87This is a great idea, I’ve had a slightly different one that could be added to this that is a different type or programming more within your application. Examples of this off the top of my head you should know are caching, login, image uploading direct to s3 and resizing, event driven systems, scaling stuff with the dynamo db/Cassandra style of writing out denormalised views etc. So instead of concentrating on software that already exists outside of your application for me it would be super helpful to absolutely have down all the different parts of logging in and auth, for example. Good luck with the continued development of Code Crafters, it seems like a really awesome idea with loads of potential!

#88I signed up for the year subscription.
But that's not actually what I want. I want a one-time payment because I know I'm terrible with these recurring subscriptions. I know in a year I'm going to be like "damn, I didn't cancel that??"
Could you please implement non-recurring purchases? Or at least, enable it for users who ask.
Speaking of which, could you make my purchase non-recurring? My username is the same as HN.

Hmmm ... i think that could definitely be a part in this too.

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.
