Ultra-focused technical courses

ByLunchtime was born from a simple frustration: 27-hour "beginner to advanced" courses that bury the two hours you actually need. We make the two-hour version.

How we work

Four principles behind every course.

Respect for your time

A course should be measured in hours, not weekends. Every lesson earns its place — if it can live in a README instead, that's where it goes.

Production-sane from the start

No "quick and dirty" shortcuts you'd be embarrassed to show your security team. Remote state, sensible defaults, teardown scripts — the way you'd actually work.

Skimmable by design

Short videos with transcripts, and all the code in GitHub. Already know a section? Skim it and move on. Nothing is padded to hit a target running time.

Assume intelligence

You're a technical person learning an adjacent area — not a beginner. We introduce new concepts properly, but we don't teach you how to install software.
