This article outlines how three engineers built a p2p file sharing network from scratch, and what they learned along the way. It's a great high level primer if you're curious about how distributed hash tables or sharding works.

Noooooo, this is a recruiting method now?! That's abhorrent.

Posting articles from 2017 and seeing what you fish up? I know y'all are a Ruby shop too.

For shame...

someone should add "2017" somewhere to this

Why? It doesn't seem like time-sensitive content. Should any link to tutorials or documentation also have a date on it?

Perhaps yes. Unless you don't mind kids learning to code like it's 1995 again.
