@RuiCarrilho5 Yes, it’s worth reading. This book helped me understand the fundamentals of system design, databases, and batch and streaming pipelines
ps. I read edition 2
I’ve worked at Microsoft, Thoughtworks, and Freshworks.
I’m a backend engineer with 12 years of experience.
I also know how to reverse a LinkedList.
But for a change, let’s talk about the things I still don’t know fully yet:
- ML fundamentals beyond the surface level
- ML CI/CD and model deployment workflows
- Deep cybersecurity concepts
- Advanced frontend architecture
- Assembly language
- Advanced Linux kernel internals
- Cryptography
- Blockchain fundamentals
- Web3 infrastructure
- Python at a deep production level
- How modern AI systems are trained end-to-end
- How agents should be evaluated in production
- How to debug model behavior beyond prompting
- How to secure AI systems properly
- How to build reliable ML pipelines at scale
The more time you spend as a software engineer, the more you realize how much there is you don’t know.
However, that is okay.
You can be strong in one area and still be a beginner in many others. Experience does not mean knowing everything.

Stumbled upon a Codex skill that creates cool illustrations to explain topics or tell stories.
You feed it text (blog, article, narrative, even code) and it makes explainer graphics with this cute blob character.
I gave it the repo for the X recommendation algo and got this 👇

Session highlights below
Habits so simple you think they’re not worth doing, but have a profound impact on your life:
- Not touching your phone when you wake up
- Not thinking about work after work is done
- Putting a book down once you find an idea worth thinking about
- Setting aside time to do nothing for 10 minutes a day
- Going on a short walk after each meal
- Eating a meal without a screen in front of you
- Saying "I don't know" instead of pretending you do
- Asking "What if this isn't actually a problem?" before trying to solve it
- Letting yourself be bad at something instead of expecting perfection
- Trying to understand something you disagree with instead of looking for flaws
- Defaulting to "no" until you think through the commitment
