cs-topics VS system-design-primer

HtDP [0], CS50x [1], and whatever strikes your interest from teachyourselfcs [2], in that order.

Also highly recommend the book for nand2Tetris after CS50.

This is a really good fundamentals resource: https://teachyourselfcs.com/ They list books and videos.

Study computer science, either through college or via teachyourselfcs.com.

In the current market it's better to just put some resources together and learn from platforms like OSSU or Odin Project or FreeCodeCamp to really dip your toes in. The bootcamp era was a byproduct of interest rates at the time and shoveling in as many bodies as they could into the field. You can literally build a curicullum yourself for 6 months and see how you like it while working retail or whatever else. Or for the more technical side: teachyourselfcs.com gives you some ideas if you wanna start actual cs concepts.

https://teachyourselfcs.com/ also has a bunch of great resources for CS fundamentals.

Knowledge in a programming language is not complete without a full CS education. I recently found out this site: https://teachyourselfcs.com/

what's your opinion on teachyourselfcs.com for the fundamentals?

I've been giving interviews for past couple of months and this github repo has helped me so much for system design perspective and I can see myself excelling at interviews. - https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer

You'll be on opiod's probably the first 1-2 days, so sleeping should be fine. Everything will be allright, don't worry too much. Just use the time now to prepare for the time after, make sure you go through post-surgery-essentials thread. Once you are out of the OR you won't have the energy to think about those details, so make sure you take that prep serious.

Tooling isn’t architecture. Figure out what you need to handle both personas and volume/throughput and then lay out the capabilities you’ll need. As you lay out points of ingress, egress, consumption you can start to lay out sequences(think in persona and sequence diagrams to express interactions between services). Lastly, evaluate tools that offer some of these capabilities and weigh the trade-offs (there are always trade-offs: https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer).
