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.

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).

I stumbled upon a github post called coding interview university and with the shiny object syndrome I have, I kinda want to ditch the roadmaps and start something new like this one in github, or the random dude I found in YouTube, telling his audience that he passed the FAANG interviews. The annoying part of me is that whenever I hear stuff like “I passed the FAANG”, I will immediately try to follow their path because their method works for them or to some other people
