alt Hacker NewsI see comments suspecting this list is AI-generated. That might be true. But ironically, the practice of "building from scratch" is the best antidote to AI dependency.
Writing from Japan, we call this process "Shugyo" (austere training). A master carpenter spends years learning to sharpen tools, not because it's efficient, but to understand the nature of the steel.
Building your own Redis or Git isn't about the result (which AI can give you instantly). It is about the friction. That friction builds a mental model that no LLM can simulate.
Whether this post is marketing or not, the "Shugyo" itself is valid.

Is there repetition implied? Would you build your own redis 20 times? (Just curious).
It’s definitely some marketing, but way less than it could be. It recommends looking at the redis docs to build a reds client rather than the websites own tutorial/paid product for doing so.
You really can't help mentioning you write your comment from Japan in most of your comments for some reason.
Not that it's my business that whether you were actually born and raised in Japan or an immigrant/expat. Just a random observation and that I don't think you have any less point without mentioning it
Considering your account age, it's a bit of bot smell if you ask me
The best cinematographers I’ve ever worked with were previously gaffers (lighting team). Same principal IMO!
Thank you for sharing. I have always found Japanese focus into the smallest detail as something worth of the greatest admiration. And I am always trying to learn from those ways to apply it into my life.
