Going through the book is recommended. It's quite good. I'd suggest learning CS fundamentals well before proceeding with this. It's book on Distributed computing, so better be aware of underlying components, you know, like OS, CN, DBMS, computer Architecture etc

Yes, I am a backend engg and I have experience working with distributed computing tools like pyspark and dask.

a) For beginners to experienced - https://codingchallenges.fyi/challenges/intro
b) For experienced folks - (codecrafters.io) https://app.codecrafters.io/r/adorable-eagle-556273 (Referral)

Software Engineering Resources Recommendations

"a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" or "neem hakeem khatra jaan"

I realised this recently when I went through my old bookmarked videos and realised I learnt it wrong. 

Now i know better from my experience, but it's quite shocking, that a beginner might be still watching these videos and learning it wrong.

Most content about system design and distributed systems is far from the truth, it includes all your famous YouTubers including Gaurav Sen etc 

e.g wait till you realise that ACID guarantee doesn't mean anything and C-consistency is a made up concept.

we want an easy way out by just going through videos, and even the YouTuber can't make it complex, otherwise no one will watch their videos.

The real knowledge is still in those famous books, read those, otherwise you sound like a phony who just knows buzzwords, which is very easy to catch in an interview.

Most of the content taught by tech youtubers is simply wrong/incomplete

Senior Software Engineer

This is something that helped me a lot during my Engineering days and some of it I even used during my job. It is great to work through these problems out of curiosity as it builds great intuition around computing and algorithms.

This course provides an introduction to mathematical modeling of computational problems.

🚀 Seeking Product Management Learning Resources 🚀

Hi Grapeviners,

I have close to 3.5 YOE as a software engineer. I am thinking of starting to prepare for interviews. Before joining my current org, I  was a good/average coder on CP platforms. I want to restart this again, but am overwhelmed with 100s of resources. I want to start CP, frontend, backend and system design. Are there any resources which you have used while preparing for SDE2 interviews. Even if you have resources for one of the above topics, please add in the comments as it might help someone. Also, if someone is preparing and interested to prepare together please DM me.

Thanks

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

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?

I'm trying to learn frontend development from scratch so I can really grasp all the concepts properly and in an organized way. At the same time, I want to work on some projects for my resume and prepare for frontend interviews.

I came across some courses on LinkedIn by certain individuals. Should I invest my time in those courses?
