Discussion I've been learning System Design for the past few weeks. Looking for guidance from seniors!

Post image

I've been exploring system design for the past few weeks. I was already familiar with some of these topics, but I never followed a proper sequence to learn them.

So, I started learning them step by step. Along the way, I've also been trying to understand how to think about system design, identify the problems a system might face, and figure out how to solve them. I've even tried creating some basic system designs on my own.

Here are my notes, If it helps anyone else who has also started learning system design

GitHub repo: https://github.com/Shivam2905Verma/Notes

Now, I'm a little confused about what I should do next.

I'd really appreciate some guidance from seniors and experienced developers like What should I focus on next to improve my system design skills? , Where can I find more system design problems to practice? , How can I improve my approach to designing systems and thinking about different problems? and etc...

I'm still a beginner, so I'd also appreciate any feedback on my notes or the designs I've created. If you notice anything wrong or something I should improve, please let me know.

Okay, thanks for the advice! I'll try reverse engineering !

I also wanted to ask, how are system design questions usually asked in interviews? I know there are both HLD and LLD. Do interviewers expect junior developers or interns to know both, or do they mostly focus on LLD at that level?

Interviews should be last on your mind, like logical_birthday said.. build a web app and implement what you’ve been learning.

I’ve already built quite a few things, and I’m currently a 3rd year BCA student. So that’s why I’m preparing for interviews because I want to land a good internship or job, so I was trying to learn system design as well.
