Rhymium

Frequently asked questions

Is the curriculum really free?

Yes, all of it, permanently. Every track, module, lesson and drill is free to read and free to use, with no account required. The paid product is Rhymium Pro — the question bank, the application assistant, the tracker, the calendar and the community. If you only ever want to learn the material, you never need to pay us anything.

Who is this for?

Engineers who can build a service and cannot yet defend its design out loud. That covers most people two to eight years in, and quite a few further along than that. The first track starts from what a TCP handshake costs, so you do not need distributed systems experience to begin.

Is any of it available yet?

No. Everything on this site is marked "In development" because it is, and that badge is generated from a single status field rather than written into the page. When something ships, the badge changes here and everywhere else at the same time.

Why are there no testimonials or success stories?

Because nobody has taken this course. There are no graduates, no offer numbers and no five-star quotes, and every one of those would be easy to invent. The outcomes page says so directly rather than filling the space.

Does the application assistant apply to jobs for me?

It drafts, and it stops. Every application waits on a review screen showing a diff of what it changed, and nothing is submitted without you approving that specific application. There is no bulk mode and there will not be one.

What does Pro cost?

One payment for five years of access. The figure shown on the pricing page is a placeholder and is labelled as one — it will be set before anything is for sale, and there is no way to buy it in the meantime.
