A curated list of 'reinvent the wheel' and algorithm projects, mainly in Java and Go, linking to hand-built implementations of Redis, message queues, RPC frameworks, JVMs, databases, and more. It is intended as a learning resource and source of small resume-worthy projects.

Use cases

• find projects to build for my resume
• learn how RPC frameworks work by implementing one
• study hand-written redis or mq implementations
• find go projects like writing docker or jvm from scratch
• deepen understanding of algorithms and infrastructure by coding them myself

When to choose

• you want to learn infrastructure concepts by studying or building simplified versions yourself
• you need small portfolio projects for interviews or a resume
• you prefer curated links to tutorials and implementations in Java or Go

When to avoid

• you need production-ready, battle-tested libraries
• you need a maintained framework rather than educational links
• you work in languages other than Java or Go
