@ice_panel Team, thank you for publishing Cool Architecture blogs.
They are good and insightful without too much marketing jargon. Cheers!
Keep sharing :)

The hotel elevator is slow, make it fast.
People are pissed, they've waste time standing in cubicle box.
The executive leadership hired consultants with $500K in fees to fix the problem.
The recommendation? Replace all the elevators with new generation machines, this is the only solution.
more money to be spent....
meanwhile there was a suggestion from a junior employee
why not ignore the speed problem all together...
Ignore? Are you out of your mind? We can't make wait customers wait, they're furious
Yes, ignore but in a way that customers don't notice
oh ok, what's your suggestion?
Install mirrors in the elevator and play calming music
People will not notice the wait time
oh, this is great idea. Let's make it happen
Here is $500 gift card for your hard work
but you paid $500K to outside consultants
Yes, so.....

Here is the moral of the story - You don't have to always come up with O(1) solution, sometimes it's fine to stay with O(n) and optimise at other places.
and comment the other obvious "moral of the story"
Original story credits - Gien Verschatse, I tweaked a little bit :)
It was awesome connecting with @venkat_s at #gids in Bengaluru.
Refreshed my ideas on Extensibility and software architecture thinking. Thanks for the amazing sessions and discussions.

The side-effects of working from a remote area?
What you do when you need groceries?
Go to the grocery store?
Nope, we've better things to do... just order from BlinkIt.
For me, I just take a quick walk to the fields. That's our dark store; delivered in less than 10 minutes.
Eat healthy food all over the day is the real struggle guys.

Apple announced a new CEO
but not many people know this
has it been an Indian origin CEO
everyone would have known
and your social media feed filled with this news...
I'm happy in a way that my social media feed is not polluted :)

I got to meet @neal4d , one of the most respected voices in Software Architecture and had the privilege of handing him a signed copy of my O'Reilly book "System Design on AWS".
You know that feeling when you stand in line for a signed copy from an author you admire? Pure happiness.
But handing over your own signed book? That’s next-level joy.

We’re shipping code faster than ever with @claudeai Opus
… will need Claude Thanos in few years to remove 50% of code cleaning up all the mess being shipped.

Why are we so focused on achieving results without putting in effort?
I'm more interested in "How to let AI do the work without spending any tokens?"

5 YEARS of "I GOT THE JOB!" messages… and they STILL give me goosebumps every single time ❤️
These screenshots are from people who landed Cloud Support Associate roles after watching my YouTube videos and using the GitHub repo I created.
When I started my YouTube journey, there was zero content on how to break into Cloud Support Associate positions. So I decided to build it from scratch. If you’re not chasing the full Software Development route but still want a high-growth, good-pay career, this role is genuinely good.
I started my own career exactly here. That first Cloud Support job built the AWS foundation that changed everything for me. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would one day lead to me becoming an O’Reilly author of the book System Design on AWS.
I continued on making videos because of lot of appreciation I received along the way...

Ever wonder what actually happens in the 0.5 seconds after you hit "Enter" on Google?
I partnered with @systemdesignone for the dive deep on the complex architecture of web crawler and the search systems in System Design One newsletter.
⚫ The newsletter captures trade-off analysis for every architecture component, detailing why a specific approach makes more sense.
⚫ Some discussions around storage and networking bottlenecks at this massive scale.

Why do I need DATABASES if you can directly dump information to files?
The recent blog captures short answer and my personal experience building a project on top of files as database.

Designing Data-Intensive Applications
This book is often in the recommended list for Software Engineering folks so I read it too. I took an extra step of creating summary notes (+videos) so it's easy to refer back.
You can download the notes for Chapter 1-12 and find links to YT videos here - https://t.co/J0SEJW2OxZ
Chapter 7 screenshot just for reference. And if you find it useful, you can take an extra step too -- Share among your groups.
Happy Learning!

In System Design Interviews, there is so much discussion around this database, that database, SQL vs NoSQL , etc. etc.
but nobody bothers to discuss which compute option to choose? what kind of networking strategies to use? which network protocol makes sense? how will you debug if something goes wrong? , etc etc.
Only time you think of network protocol when it's time to design a chat application. But you're not going to design chat application in real life (except very rare scenario).
If you wish to become better at designing systems, think about system infrastructure from all angles.
... and here is advertisement of book 😄 "System Design on AWS", an O'Reilly title helps you build that thought process. Everything about the book here - https://t.co/8ycYxGNGUb
The tagline of book is "Interview ke saath bhi, Interview ke baad bhi". It stays with you forever, not just for interviews.
