Random reminder that I have a YouTube channel where I post videos about software architecture and design. Usually in the 10 min range trying be concise as possible. If you enjoy please share. Have suggestions? Please let me know.
Holy shit someone posted something insightful and honest on here
Engineers who are great at system design have one thing in common. It's not that they've memorized more architectures but that they figure out what the system actually has to guarantee before they design anything. That's why interviewers don't care whether you say Kafka or
Clearly "clean" has no meaning based on the comments.
be honest: Do we still care about clean code?
Not wrong but if history tells me anything, majority will turn "system design" into something completely different and all meaning will be lost.
It’s kinda crazy how software engineering has turned into systems design
If you've built and evolved a codebase for 10+ years with actual customers it's easy to see through a lot of the pure BS posted on here. Architecture and design is about fundamentally making decisions related to trade-offs in world that's constantly changing in various ways.
