“ The Redis challenge was extremely fun. I ended up having to read the 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 Software Engineer, Stripe “ I think the instant feedback right there in the git push is really cool. Didn't even know that was possible!
