Ship That Code: Master Engineering by Building from Scratch

Stop following mindless tutorials and start shipping actual systems. Ship That Code is a platform designed to move you beyond the surface level by challenging you to rebuild the fundamental tools of the trade from the ground up.

Follow a tutorial $\rightarrow$ Build a real system.

🛠️ A Glimpse into the Curriculum

To give you an idea of the approach, here is a simplified look at how you might implement basic Redis functionality using python.

# redis.py - Implementing core Redis logic

# Logic to handle the SET command
def handle_set(args):
    # store[key] = value
    store[args[0]] = args[1]
    return "+OK\r\n"

# Logic to handle the GET command
def handle_get(args):
    val = store.get(args[0])
    if val is None:
        return "$-1\r\n"
    return f"${len(val)}\r\n{val}\r\n"
