This proved to be very challenging but fun. When I was a student at Mirdin a few years ago I decided to try to write Tic-Tac-Toe completely on the typelevel in TypeScript. For example, making a move with the same player twice. The Tic-Tac-Toe challenge is not exactly in this vain but instead gives students the challenge to write a Tic-Tac-Toe program that cannot go wrong, and produce compile time errors for as many incorrect uses as possible. With smaller groups or private students, we design specific requirements for each implementation that are meant to poke holes at a student’s design. Then we give the students immediate feedback on how their earlier design choices affected later requirements. One way we do this is by giving students a series of short design exercises that takes just a few hours to finish but will contain a lot of opportunities for things to go wrong. We try to give meaning behind every design decision to not have to use gut feeling or past experiences with similar design decisions to have an opinion on what direction to take. So do you really have to spend 10 000 hours just working on projects toĪt Mirdin we believe there is a more effective way. They know that one design decision should be taken over another but they might have a hard time explaining exactly why. Senior engineers that have been through a lot gain intuition. This is exactly how it normally is to work towards becoming a senior engineer.

You will learn what to do but have a harder time explaining what you have learned. You will get better from just playing but it takes much longer and your understanding of what you have learned is much worse. You might be familiar with how practicing guitar or some sport is very different from just playing/performing.

At Mirdin we help students to practice writing software.
