There was a highly recommended book where you followed along with cpu or architecture design and then bootstrapped a compiler. I can’t find it now. Does anyone know what I’m talking about?

$99 is crazy expensive for a book about a topic that's heavily covered and widely available for free online or usually at most $25 in book form.
~1500 people disagree with you and some of them bought both books ($99 and $250).
Yes, a lot of online tutorial and snippets. No argument here. Not a lot of material to build a complete project. The value is in "Fractured" vs "Whole" knowledge tree.

I am interested in books that teach the ins and outs of building complex software systems from scratch.
One such delightful book is “Building Git” by James Coglan. It builds a complex software from scratch allowing the user to learn by building.
What other books would be similar to the above?
