We now have a free tier, so you should be able to try it out :-)

Do you provide educational licenses/pricing? It looks really interesting but I can't afford it as a student.

We do. Feel free to email me sarup@codecrafters.io

I would ask chatgpt to refactor his text rather than waiting him to do so... I think poor english as an excuse will be a thing of past.

Instead of saying “the singer sounds so autotuned” we’ll soon be whining “the text reads too autogpt” (I propose a pronunciation of “auto-jipped”).

Probably want to pick another term, since that's a homonym of a racial slur.

You're probably thinking of https://codecrafters.io/ . I've been meaning to check them out with my education stipend from work, just haven't had the time to devote to it.

So expensive IMO, only reason I'm avoiding it.

$83/mo or around $994 annually is crazy way too much for me. I hope them the best because I love that kind of content and want it to be more popular, but I will wait until a better priced option comes.

It’s free, but isn’t it one lesson per day?

Correct. For many of our users, doing one stage per day is just the right amount of exercise (especially on the later stages — as it gets more challenging)

Maybe I'm missing something but the server application resulting from the source code in this book does not actually work with redis-cli or any Redis clients. It appears to be using a custom binary protocol, not valid RESP. I feel that the RESP protocol itself is the most challenging task of building ones own Redis.

What? I genuinely think RESP is the easy part. I used to use your redcon library to get bootstrapped but then rewrote it from scratch and it was really easy. Unfortunately Golang doesnt permit good abstraction sp i have to write the same thing over and over again.

When I see poorly written prose, it makes me distrust the technology imparted. If you can't take time to get the grammar right, why should I believe that you got the code right?

That's like complaining book writer site have shitty JS.

"If you can't write code why should I believe that the prose you write is any better?"

That being said they are selling it and that's enough reason to complain.

Sigh. I had to actually go look this up. Sometimes it's just easier not to talk, because all of the skeletons of old normalized words come to light. I truly was not trying to slur anyone, and apologize if my (unlucky) attempt at humor resonated sour for anyone.
