C++ Design Patterns and System Design books from beginner to advanced- Grapevine

A little background here: I'm a final semester student currently going through final stages of my internship. Having worked on a few projects, I've noticed tackling the requirements is not that much difficult but there's a good Software Engineering emphasis on the "how" code should be written as more readable, reusable and in a more professional manner.

This took me on a parallel exploration based on the intrigue for design patterns and I'm 3/4th of the way for Design Patterns by Refactoring Guru ebook with implementing almost all of the examples in mostly Java but a few in C++ too and what I'm thinking is most likely the next step is to go for System Design.

So here's what I truly wanted to ask:

1) Is the next step System Design here?
2) Where should I learn it from? Free on YouTube, course, github/websites, blogs or books even?

How to learn System Design as a recent graduate?

So I resumed practicing DSA recently. I mainly use C++ for this purpose. Few days back I saw a post which was kind of a roadmap and the first bullet point there was to get thorough with the language. I kind of agree with this and at some point I was meaning to understand c++ better, few level deeper. So thinking of taking a pivot for this purpose. 

So c++ veterans of grapevine, need your recommendations for this. Open to books and video tutorial both. Not looking for syntax learning and all but how c++ works under the hood. I maybe drawing an inappropriate parallel with this but something like namaste javascript by Akshay sahni or you don't know js kind of material. I did started with gfg c++ blogs but that material  feels unstructured and a bit less intuitive. 

Grateful to you all in advance.

Deeper understanding of C++/JAVA

I am an early career dev with a few years of experience primarily in the frontend domain. I want to read atleast 2 technical books next year to upskill in general as a software engineer. Please share your recommendations.

LeetCode is a psyop designed by Big Tech to hire rule-followers who can grind away at pointless tasks

I am PM with around 5 yrs of experience. I’m struggling to take my skill to next level. always receive feedback from management that output isn’t good, mostly that UX isn’t good. what can I do to improve my work?

1. Read books ? 
2. Study successful products from outside ?
3. Listen to podcasts 
4. Work with great product people? but hardly these exist 
5. leave this field altogether?
6. Just have patience and keep learning everyday?

Can experienced people share what has worked out well for them? or point me to some directions?

What are the best resources till now you got for system design for 1 yoe+

Going through the job posting I've seen this sentence pop up in the requirements multiple times:
"Have delivered, extended, and maintained large scale distributed systems."
I'm having a hard time understanding what this means in a job context. Can anybody explain with like a simple example of delivering a distributed system that would make them eligible for this requirement? If I'm working on a webapp that uses tech like kaftka and zookeeper, can I consider myself as meeting this requirement?

System design course

Has anyone cracked a sustainable yet effective system design learning growth plan here besides working in a full time 5 day wfo job?

Not looking for a job search purpose, but to truly learn the system design in depth. 

I have tried: 

1. Reading company system design blogs: Besides a blog or two, all blogs feel very random since they talk about very specific use case in a tech that I haven’t worked with. 
2. Reading DDIA book: Book seems good but goes in really deep to everything, so can’t read for long in a sitting. 

What have you tried?

System Design Reads

I am preparing for interviews and never had any system design round before. Not sure how should I start preparing. I know there are lots of videos out there, but don't want to follow some random posts. Seen posts from bytebytego but they are most random posts . Rather looking for a way to learn systematically from scratch even though I might many of them. Looking for free resources

How should I prepare for system design interview,?

Kindly suggest some good System design questions that one should prepare for a Senior role. Pls share from your experience of what is currently being asked in interviews. Will be of great help.
