Take a watch of Jon Gjengset's vids on this (there's a codecrafters challenge for building out a bittorent protocol that he's going through). - [VIDEO] - [LINK]

(CodeCrafters team here). Out of curiosity, is there a reason why you prefer video format vs. interactive? e.g out of habit, when I'm having a meal, I like watching "course videos" or streams occasionally. Is yours similar? P.S. Jon Gjengset did a comprehensive stream going through the Build your own BitTorrent challenge [VIDEO] , if you're interested in Rust

I found that CodeCrafters is quite fun after watching an video on Youtube[0], and shared it with my friends who might also be interested. The feedback I got was quite similar to the community: - really interesting idea, but - pricing is absurd, not gonna pay 100$ for these, and - their minimal paid plan at 40$/mo is a lie, with a fine print: Available as a one-time payment for 3 months or 1 year access. - Lack of in depth implementation of the projects, i.e for the free HTTP server project, it stopped at "Post a file", lack of beefy & fun stuff like for example HTTP 1.1 Pipelining I believe the value (the fun) it would provide me would be about the same level of Ace Combat 7 (I paid ~40$US), and the complexity is less than Bauder's Gate(69$SG). I would pay roughly US$40 for all of the content altogether at this moment. edit: added a link -- [0]: [VIDEO]
