Thank you so much! This looks like exactly what I need as well. I'll give it a go. I wonder though if there's something similar available for AWS or GCP.

But are these hands-on?

Hey HN! What are some good recommendations to learn distributed microservices? I feel as if I am missing this key skillset from my portfolio and it might be a hindrance whenever I …

Yes! Same thing happened to me too. Joined a non-faang company recently and recruiter messages dropped to almost nil. Pretty sure its because I started a new job.

I'd like to collaborate on this too. lmk if you have any cool ideas.

Pick up a good book and start to do the problems. Examples of good books are Sedgewick, Siena, etc. Stop with all the online videos and blogs.

Sure, we have a team just like you mentioned. Quiet, no stupid gossips, etc. Focused on work and individual contribution. Very less to almost no meetings for developers. We always …

You need to pick up problems and do them. Pick up a problem and learn the math for it, then code it, and then if you like, publish it or blog about it. You only learn a subject by …

Yes, that's the one.

Here's a tentative plan- 1. Do fully AndrewNg's course from Coursera 2. Do a course called AnalyticsEdge by MIT folks from edx.org. I can't recommend this course highly enough. It'…

I am trying to reach a point where I can say - "Hey! Look I've designed this highly scalable website" to satiate my own hunger for this knowledge. And I know that one can't possibl…

Yes, thank you for your response. Yes, I know about highscalability.com and such websites but the overview they give is very high level. I am looking to build something similar to …
