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 I've read it, but didn't type it myself. It is a short tutorial and doesn't touch all git concepts, so I think it fits nicely in the "in a weekend" category
