I'm craving this type of content but in video format. Something along the lines of MIT/Stanford courses but focuses on "Do your own X". Most youtube content I'm aware of is focused on entertainment while coding and I find it distracting.
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 https://youtu.be/jf_ddGnum_4?si=nwVLbe_2XsheIKav, if you're interested in Rust
Here’s what it looks like on the Redis challenge: https://app.codecrafters.io/courses/redis/stages/2/screencas...
Interactive, like other info sources that present info linearly and in high detail are much less efficient, but allow you to learn the ‘doing’ aspect that a video would not.
But I am curious about what you’ve made. How has the reception for this type of info product been so far?

On average I'd say we get a 50/50 split between folks who like the doing/challenge aspect of it, vs those who wished there was more "consuming" type of content, e.g vidoes/text
I'm more interested in (a) system/code design and (b) mechanically how they solve problems (eg how they debug, get around the editor etc) to improve myself. I'm less interested in the code itself.
