How should one approach System Design questions during an interview?

Here's the step by step guide:

🧵👇🏻

System design interviews are generally open ended discussions. There's no one right answer.

The main focus in this round is to see your thought process and whether you'll be able to design a minimal system keeping future scale in mind and by following the standard principles.

Know that many interviewers deliberately make it hard to see how you approach a given problem.

You cannot possibly design a complex system in 1-2 hours which engineers usually take months to years to design, develop and build.

So this is how you should approach this round:

1. Clarify the requirements: As mentioned earlier the questions are generally very open ended. So you need to ask a lot of question to set the scope clear for the discussion.

Example: "Design an application like Twitter"

Twitter has a lot of features like:
- Post tweet
- Home timeline
- Profile timeline
- Analytics
- Likes
- Retweets
- Following
- Bookmark
- Trending etc

You get the idea!

Are you a Senior Developer & struggling to switch your job?

Here's a thread on how you should prepare before sending out job applications:

🧵👇🏻

First of all know that there's a lot of demand for good software developers.

It's hard for companies to hire good mid level developers. Some of the interviewers I've talked to recently have mentioned this!

So, if you're good, you can always get into a high paying job.

I have 6.5 years of experience mainly as a Backend Developer. Although I do work a bit of front-end tasks as well as part of my current job.

In this thread I'm going to talk about how I would prepare if I was going to apply for a job interview.

As a mid level developer having 4 - 8 years of experience, you will be expected to have certain skills to be hired by companies. Skills like:

- Problem Solving
- HLD
- LLD
- Mentoring / Code reviews
- Taking responsibility
- Leading end-end development & release of projects etc

Problem Solving:

Even though we mostly never write a lot of game changing Algorithms and use data structures, you're still expected to know the most common ones and how to use them to solve problems:

- Tree
- Linked List
- Heap
- Hash Map
- Array etc

If you're learning or planning to learn Web Development in 2021 then this thread is for you

WHERE TO START? Front-end or Backend?

- Well this may be a debatable question but I would suggest you to start with front-end development

- It depends entirely on the individual but in my opinion, starting with front-end development has its advantages.

WHY TO START WITH FRONT-END DEVELOPMENT?

- More visual content gives you an aesthetic vibe

- You can share your creations

- Easier to get feedback as you can show your webpages to any non technical person as well

FUNDAMENTALS ARE IMPORTANT

- Don't rush! Spend some time on HTML, CSS and JavaScript. You can do pretty amazing things using these three languages

{ 4 / 16 }

- Make sure to learn and build some web pages using HTML and CSS before jumping onto JavaScript

- JavaScript is the backbone of web development, Don't rush to start with React/Angular/vue or any other front-end framework or library

You are looking to get into Machine Learning? You most certainly can
Because I believe that if an above-average student like me was able to do it, you all certainly can as well

Here's how I went from knowing nothing about programming to someone working in Data Science👇

The path that I took wasn't the most optimal way to get a good grip on Machine Learning because...

when I started out, I knew nobody that worked or had knowledge of Data Science which made me try all sorts of different things that were not actually necessary.

I studied C programming as my first language during my freshman year in college. And before the start of my second year, I started learning python just because I knew C is not the way to go.
I learned it out of curiosity and I had no idea about Machine Learning at this point.

I did not learn python by courses but by books. I'll link all the resources at the end.
The approach I took was just to make the same kind of programs I made in C but just replacing the syntax with that of python and practised those.
Already knowing a language made it easier.

For Machine Learning, the first thing that I did was to join Andrew NG's course which really hit it off for me
I didn't have to have any idea about Machine Learning for the course. I completed that in almost a month and it gave me a good intuition of things and the flow of ML.
