Engineers at top teams love The CodeCrafters Way™
The Redis challenge was extremely fun. I ended up having to read Redis protocol specification doc pretty carefully in its entirety! The result felt like lightly-guided independent study, if that makes sense. (Which, again, was lots of fun)
Charles Guo

I'm learning about how Redis works under the hood, system calls, socket programming in Python; something I've never done before
Akshata Mohan
Senior Data Scientist at Cloudflare
My favorite way to master a language.

I’ve started the SQLite challenge, enjoying it a lot so far. Just the right level of guidance, helpful yet gives you a lot of freedom to explore and learn for yourself.

In a perfect world, job interviews ask for assignments like CodeCrafters instead of Leetcode.
The best way to refresh your programming language skills and learn something new about Redis, Git, SQLite internals.

The challenge helped me dive into its internals, through *actual* practice. Super fun.
Kang Ming Tay
Software Engineer at Supabase
I was really impressed that they support Haskell, and will probably usethis to learn Rust! The git-based workflow is :chefkiss:
Jonathan Lorimer
Lead SWE at Mercury Bank
Found out from a colleague. It has you build your own version of things like Git and SQLite from scratch. A cool way to build a stronger mental model of how those tools work.

Projects that go way
beyond the basics
Build software deeper than simple CRUD apps. Take on projects involving storage engines, protocols, concurrency and performance.
Become the engineer who's comfortable with complexity.

Be in the company of
prolific engineers
See how contributors to projects like Docker and Rails refactor, how engineers who build large-scale systems debug, and how CTOs of developer platforms make architectural decisions.
Improve your taste by observing other great engineers.

Use your favourite
tools to code. No limits.
Don't be limited by web-based editors. Code in your usual IDE, with your preferred customisations. Push code with Git and get instant feedback. Share your work on GitHub.
CodeCrafters is designed for pros.

There are few sites I like as much that have a step by step guide. The real-time feedback is so good, it's creepy!
