This is sad. I had a blast implementing my own interpreter from scratch. I saw, first hand, the effort Sarup put in trying to make CodeCrafters thrive. We had a few product feedback video chats, which were all much enjoyable. I tried to get my current employer to pay for CodeCrafters for the engineering team, but, as others in this thread already said, it's hard to justify this spending these days because of AI. Honestly, I think that it's a little short-sighted of the companies to not invest in hard skills for their employees, now more than ever. I definitely became a better engineer with the help of CodeCrafters.
