This looks great. Do you have an ETA for a Ruby SDK?

I lived in the building for a while and there is a bit of subtle ramp into the building but it's not quite a 1.5 foot drop because the direction (Try looking at Google Street View from before 2020 at 350 Mission St and 399 Mission St)

I used to spend a lot of time thinking about this while helping build software & TA'ing for Berkeley's introductory course (which uses Python & Scheme) and I largely agree with the author. If you're wondering why the author ignores large schools, it's because they have the resources to invest in this. Here's a sample of the things the efforts that Berkeley did for their introductory course [1]
* Online tools to run & visualize code execution directly from the online textbook (ex: https://composingprograms.com/pages/16-higher-order-function...) * Easy submission for students (no git in CS1, no scp, no printing) * Instructor autograding for all assignments so the course staff could focus on reviewing code for style/other components. * Automatically backing up student code * In some assignments, there were automated hints for syntax, styling, and even correctness [2, 3] * Online collaborative editing for partner assignments [4] * Full time staff allocated to building teaching infrastructure to "reduce accidental complexities when using code to solve problems" * Completely hosted environments (via Jupyter Notebooks or Scratch) for courses with a lot of non-majors.

I still prefer to setup ngrok because it allows me to view and replay requests. If the stripe cli supported that, then I'd move to use the cli entirely

This is the textbook used for the introductory CS course (CS61A) at UC Berkeley. The course material is available at http://cs61a.org/fa18 (The course uses Python 3, Scheme, and SQL).
There are some neat projects (students build a Scheme interpreter and implement game logic as part of the projects)

> as far as I understood you can use the grader with "--local" flag to check the correctness of your program, is that the case?
Yes. The autograder is provided with each assignment.

I actually built my own version of Watson based on this idea - jeopardy questions are often google-able/searchable on wikipedia. It was pretty easy to build out - but it only gets 80% of the way there.
The last 20% is the hardest - and it's why Watson is so impressive (even though even Watson is probably only at 90%)
