Solves a much needed problems for intermediate and experienced professionals in tech.
Can always trust Sarup to build a good user experience. Novel approach to tutorials, with a different kind of involvement and learning by action - I enjoyed the "build your own git" and looking forward to learning more with this tool.
Great for early developers, TDD enthusiasts, and learners of new languages. Naysayers: "don't reinvent the wheel". But how else are we going to train to new inventors? It's not the wheel that matters, it's the skills we build!
Great stuff @sarupbanskota and @rohitpaulk. Very helpful way to learn and master new skills/languages in detail esp in this world full of average content. Turning learning into such DIY programs is very useful for experienced developers (whereas most of the market is more attuned towards freshers or first-time learners). What caught my eye was the recently added AI-assisted explanations. Very cool to see an integrated implementation, nice work! Should be super useful and esp help with intimidating code pieces. How easy/hard was it to build this in? Did you guys end up doing any fine-tuning as well? Hope more and more engineers find this useful.
Congrats @sarupbanskota and @rohitpaulk on the launch. Once done with a particular course, is there a newsletter that we can subscribe to keep ourselves updated with the latest developments on that particular software?
Congrats on the launch! I have been working through CodeCrafters with my friends during my time at Recurse Center, programming for the joy of programming. Incredibly fun way to learn to build fundamental technologies from scratch. As an engineer, I am always into taking my tools apart, understanding the individual building blocks for what they are, and putting it them back together. CodeCrafters is where I go to put them back together in a guided way that keeps me motivated and enthusiastic. Thank you for making CodeCrafters!
Congratulations to @rohitpaulk and @sarupbanskota on the spectacular launch! 🥳 I was fortunate to have access to an early preview version of the product, and I genuinely enjoyed working through the numerous challenges. They were engaging and well-crafted - precisely what you would expect from such a comprehensive solution. For me, the best way to learn a new programming language is by building something in that language. CodeCrafters absolutely excels in this area, providing the ideal platform for hands-on learning. I found my programming skills enhanced thanks to the variety and real-world applicability of the challenges presented. ✌️ Another feature that sets CodeCrafters apart is the ability to complete challenges using your own familiar tools that you would be using in your work, such as your preferred IDE and Git. It speeds up learning and provides a seamless experience. I am curious whether the team plans to add any social features for community learning and collaboration. I believe that incorporating such interactive elements could bolster the overall experience and foster a sense of camaraderie among learners. Overall, I'm incredibly impressed with CodeCrafters and see it as a must-have resource for anyone looking to up-skill or learn a new programming language. Cheers to Rohit and Sarup on crafting this fantastic platform, and best of luck with everything moving forward!
Bravo, @rohitpaulk and @sarupbanskota! CodeCrafters is an absolute game-changer for software engineers. I believe hands-on learning is the best way to truly understand complex tools. CodeCrafters seems like the perfect platform to recreate popular developer tools and dive deep into their code. Are all the courses made in-house or by external experts? How do you prioritize what courses will be launched next?
Codecrafters is so well done - it the only dev learning platform I was excited to use. Absolutely loved building my own version of redis one morning when I couldn't sleep or trying to build my own version of git. The UX of the product and how it intergrates with your workflow is so well thought out and overall such a positive experience to use
Congratulations @sarupbanskota and @rohitpaulk on the PH launch! What happens when someone is stuck? Do you or could you pair them with a live mentor?
