Fundamentals of Backend Architecture - how to design scalable software youtu.be/Qa-7iWxDz1A?si=_EvO… via @YouTube

Code Canvas, finally together. The CodeAlong whiteboard is live: draw, diagram, and annotate right inside your lessons — fully recordable, fully replayable. Stay tuned.

The shift from passive learning to actionable learning in an age of short-form content and declining attention spans is increasingly important. I'm really happy with the results the CodeAlong project has been getting during our internal tests at SelfMadeEngineer.com

You only truly learn something once you've practiced it.

Honestly, software developers are getting dumber because of AI. Don't get me wrong—it's a powerful tool, but it's making it harder to hire good engineers. Use this to your advantage: understand the fundamentals and how to solve problems, and I promise you'll win next year.
