I've been a backend Engineer for 12 years. Today, I'm a Principal Engineer at Atlassian. I've designed systems that handle millions of requests. Sat on both sides of system design interviews. Reviewed more architecture docs than I can count. Starting today, I'm breaking down the fundamentals of scaling for the next 25 days. If you're learning system design bookmark this thread, you're going to get a lot of learning from this.

I created a Github repository to learn System Design, and I'm excited to share that it crossed 35k stars recently. The repository contains a collection of resources to study: - System Design Core Concepts - Networking and API Fundamentals - Database and Caching Fundamentals - Distributed Systems, Microservies and Architectural Patterns - System Design Tradeoffs - 40 interview problems categorized by difficulty level Check it out here: github.com/ashishps1/awesome… If you find the repo valuable, consider giving it a ⭐️ and share with others. Thanks to everyone who has starred or forked the repository!

Karpathy: “not business as usual”. Translation: 80% of SWE jobs are walking dead.

Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2-hour Stanford lecture on AI careers. It will teach you more about winning in the AI race than all the AI content you’ve scrolled past this year.

We tested TourneyOps at a local football tuff yesterday ⚽🔥 Organizers shouldn’t be using paper or WhatsApp to run tournaments in 2026. Fixtures. Results. Standings. All in one place. This is just the beginning 👀 👉 tourneyops.com

Ah yes, the classic microservices tutorial. Step 1: Create Service A. Step 2: Create Service B. Step 3: Call Service B from Service A. Step 4: Everything works perfectly. THE END. No failures. No retries. No distributed tracing nightmares. No "why is this working in dev but not in prod?" Real microservices are nothing like that. I put together a complete Spring Boot Microservices series that covers what actually happens — the failures, the edge cases, the "I wish someone had told me this" moments. Because the happy path is easy. It's everything else that gets you. youtube.com/playlist?list=PL… #Java #SpringBoot #Microservices

If you master arrays, hashmaps, two pointers, sliding window, and DFS/BFS… you’re already covering half the interview questions.
