one degree…thirteen different careers.

and people still ask:

“Why are we studying all these subjects?” 😭

[pulkit mittal @pulkit_mittal_]

After appearing in 10+ top companies interviews. I have prepared a list of LeetCode problems that automatically prepare you for the system design.

1. Kth Largest Element in an Array
System design: Leaderboards, rankings

2. Top K Frequent Elements
System design: Trending systems

3. Find Median from Data Stream
System design: Live stats, monitoring

4. Sliding Window Maximum
System design: Rate limiting, metrics

5. LRU Cache
System design: In-memory cache, CDN

6. Design Hit Counter
System design: API rate limiting

7. Merge Intervals
System design: Calendar, booking systems

8. Meeting Rooms II
System design: Resource scheduling

9. Insert Delete GetRandom O(1)
System design: Load balancing, sharding

10. Design Twitter
System design: Feed generation

11. Task Scheduler
System design: Job schedulers

12. Logger Rate Limiter
System design: Log throttling

13. Find Duplicate File in System
System design: Storage deduplication

14. Design File System
System design: Metadata services

15. Word Search II
System design: Search suggestions, autocomplete

System design isn’t a separate skill.

It’s LeetCode meeting real-world constraints.

How should software engineers learn AI?

[Swati Ahuja @aiandchai]

If you have a system design interview in a week, follow these topics.
These show up in 80% of system design interviews (2024 to 2026).

𝟭. 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
Structure interview under 45 mins, Estimation, CAP & Consistency
Practice: Design URL Shortener

𝟮. 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗔𝗣𝗜𝘀
Protocols, API Design
Practice: Design WhatsApp Chat

𝟯. 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀
SQL vs NoSQL, Replication & Sharding, Indexing & Storage
Practice: Design a Key Value Store, Design Dropbox

𝟰. 𝗖𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴
Cache Strategy, Cache Failure Modes
Practice: Design Rate Limiter, Design a Distributed Cache

𝟱. 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘂𝗲𝘀 & 𝗔𝘀𝘆𝗻𝗰

-Design a Notification System

[Dhruvam @Dhruvam987]

2026 tech market is actually insane 😭

One developer:
• solved 600 LeetCode problems
• 9.6 CGPA
• 2 internships
• followed the “safe” path perfectly

Salary: ₹4L

Another developer:
• built AI agents at 4AM
• deployed RAG systems
• fine-tuned open-source models
• broke production 12 times learning infra
• shipped weird projects nobody asked for

Salary: ₹60L+

The market stopped rewarding “safe learning.”

It rewards people who build, experiment and create leverage now.

Agree or disagree?

[Abhishek Singh @0xlelouch_]

Graph problems I see again and again in interviews, with LeetCode IDs to practice:

1. Traversal (BFS/DFS): 200, 133, 695
2. Shortest path (Dijkstra/0-1 BFS): 743, 1631, 1368
3. Topological sort (DAG): 207, 210, 269
4. Union-Find (connectivity): 547, 684, 721
5. MST (Prim/Kruskal): 1584, 1135
6. Bipartite check / coloring: 785, 886
7. Cycle detection: 207, 802
8. Grid graphs (multi-source BFS): 994, 542

Pick 1 type/week, do 5 problems, write down the pattern you missed.

[Abhishek Singh @0xlelouch_]

DP on LeetCode is not “one topic”. It’s 6-7 repeating shapes.

1. 1D “take/skip”: 198, 740, 70
2. Grid DP: 62, 64, 221
3. Subsequence DP: 300, 1143, 516
4. Knapsack / subset sum: 416, 494, 322
5. Interval DP: 312, 1039, 1547
6. DP on trees: 337, 124, 968
7. State machine DP (buy/sell): 121, 122, 309, 714, 123, 188

Pick 1 shape/week. Do 5 problems. Write your own template. Sharing this for those prepping for interviews!
