I've been a backend Engineer for 12+ years. Today, I'm a Principal Engineer at Atlassian.

I've designed systems that handle millions of requests. Sat on both sides of system design interviews.

Reviewed more architecture docs than I can count.

Starting today, I'm breaking down the fundamentals of scaling for the next 25 days.

If you're learning system design bookmark this thread, you're going to get a lot of learning from this.

Take time building an app people want to use, build for a community.

Invest in your UI and add moments of delight (don’t just settle for pattern designs)

Charge users … don’t give it away!!!

same app

the only real difference here is marketing

when i launched it back in december, it got just 25 downloads in total

i stopped working on it as the app store boost gave basically nothing

picked it back up at the end of february and started doing consistent marketing

now it’s at almost 600 organic downloads a month and still growing

same product, just different distribution

An IT guy from India went to the US, and like most of his friends, he wanted to enjoy *Pizza* at a nice restaurant . . .
He ordered a *9-inch Pizza*.
After a while, the waiter brought *two 5-inch pizzas*
And said, the 9-inch pizza was not available and he was giving him *two 5-inches Pizzas* instead,
and that he was getting 1 inch more for free!

Our guy politely requested the waiter to put him through to the restaurant owner.

The Indian gave him the mathematical formula to calculate the area of a circle.

Circle Area = *π r²*
where *π = 3.1415926*,
*r* is the *radius* of the circle.

So, a *9-inch circle area* = *63.62 sqinch*
while
a *5-inch circle area* is *19.63 sqinch*

The *two 5-inch circle areas* add up to *39.26 sqinch*.

Our guy said that even if he gave three pizzas, he'd still lose-out.
"How can you say you are giving me an extra inch for free?"

The owner was speechless.
He finally gave him *4 pizzas*.

Please advise children to take their Maths seriously!
