Partners

I am open to partnership with like-minded companies and services, the ones that really deliver great products and have a human-centred approach.

Below you'll find a list of the current partners and the perks they're offering to the members of the Sudo Make Me a CTO community.

Unless explicitly stated, you should assume I'm earning a commission or other benefits whenever you take advantage of the partnership via my referral link. This is another way you can support the newsletter while also benefitting from exclusive offers.

CodeCrafters

One thing I like to say to people around me is the following: when most of the people are obsessed with moving up the stack, you should move down.

What I mean by that is that there's a dominating narrative that would see people and software engineers outsourcing their expertise and competence to AI-powered tools and only focusing on the product aspects of product development.

I don't agree with that. I do believe in focusing on rare and valuable skills as a key career compass. In that sense, learning important aspects of system engineering and programming is a great investment.

That's how I came across CodeCrafters and immediately felt our principles to be strongly aligned. They offer a developer-centric platform to learn a broad array of programming languages by building real-life products: a command shell, a DNS server, or a Git implementation, among other interesting and challenging projects.

I am personally using it extensively to get better at Rust programming, and I find the learning-by-doing approach to be a great complement to the more traditional learning by reading/studying the language.

If you care about the craft of software engineering, and if you're willing to get better at it with serious projects, CodeCrafters is a great option. By following this link, you'll get access to the free tier and will get a 40% discount on the paid tier when you decide to upgrade. Moreover, this is a very effective way of spending your learning budget!
