Someone built a web-based System Design Simulator,
where you drag & drop architecture components and actually simulate traffic, failures, latency, and scaling in real time,
System design just got way more interactive.
@takeUforward_@striver_79 Any plans to add a search bar to the website? Even a simple fuzzy search would significantly improve problem discovery and navigation.
We just dropped the full syllabus for the SQL + Data Engineering Foundations Course.

I don't want to be the next Byjus.
Folks, the AI Engineering cohort is for working professionals only. Please don't purchase a seat by going into debt.
We don't give job guarantee. We are here to help you build production grade AI applications.
So please only invest if the ROI makes sense to you.
---------------
Enrollment in the program is expected to save ~200 hours of your time this year, which would otherwise be spent in trying to learn AI yourself.
That's about one month of work time.
If the program price is higher than your monthly salary, I don't recommend it.
It is only worth it if you are in a positive learning frame of mind (being in debt isn't conducive to learning).
Thank you for your support, I am looking forward to the start date: February 28th.
Have an amazing year ahead!

Yeah bro, just sprinkle ‘India’ on the sentence to become cool - zero research.
The global tech-education space is far more exploitative than most people imagine, but taking cheap shots at “India” somehow feels cooler.
Some quick facts:
- LeetCode did ~$33.7M last year. Hardly any videos, just by selling mostly company-tagged questions. Select “Google” on the list, and you will find “palindrome” 🤣 They smartly sell you pattern questions and you get a similar question. But it’s a foreign brand, so they must be right.
- Mock interviews cost $100–$300 per session.
- Salary-negotiation advice is sold for ~$100.
- Recorded AI courses go for $1,000–$2,000.
- Provoking ad’s “wanna be a swe at google”. Oops sorry, creative.
I am not even getting into the quality or customer support. It’s pathetic.
So yes, there are bad actors in the Indian market too, no one’s denying that. Some people have absolutely capitalised on insecurity, and they deserve to be called out.
But casually attaching a country’s name to look smart is not done here.
If you don’t want to pay to learn, that’s a personal choice. You can avoid it completely. No one forces you to.
People do pay for convenience. Almost every product you use today exists because of that.
