what are some other tutorials for implementing a toy version of a hard thing in a short amount of time? Like https://implement-dns.wizardzines.com or https://raytracing.github.io

I’m especially interested in the “in a short amount of time” aspect, I think nand2tetris is extremely cool but you definitely can’t do it in 3 days.

If possible I'd love to hear about a project you personally did and how long it took you.

Implement DNS in a weekend

I collected some tutorials for building a hard thing in a weekend into this gist, as well as some weekend not-tutorials and a few not-weekend tutorials https://gist.github.com/jvns/5abfd12b2b78150253ae8dd3152fbbf1

I'd love to hear about any tutorials that are missing (or that you think are misclassified!)

@b0rk On the off chance you didn't mean to: it's a secret gist, so I had to sign in to see it. (Apparently I was signed out?! I 'd better start doing some work;))

@ednl TIL you have to be signed in to see secret gists, thanks!

@b0rk It's strange though, I don't think that's how it's supposed to work, see screenshot. And just now when I signed out and refreshed, I was still allowed to see it. But I definitely got a sign in prompt earlier. Perhaps a temporary glitch? Sorry!
