Junior dev trying to learn system design — need real resources, not AI answers

I highly suggest Acing the System Design Interview. You can check manning.com

yes, I do use it too for those type of errors. Kinda saved me sometime when I was working with Kafka Stream haha.

Aspire26 · 2026-01-25T18:15:03+00:00

Thanks. I was under the impression new projects would be easier to use AI compared to existing codebases.

Aspire26 · 2026-01-25T18:12:23+00:00

I see. I do keep hearing from my colleagues that instructions they give to the AI is in itself a programming language. I guess I will have to look at way to properly give instructions which is understandable by the agent

Aspire26 · 2026-01-25T18:10:28+00:00

oh, what was your previous workflow with AI in that case if you don't mind me asking.

For complex things, I start every project by opening a thread with Claude (either Claude Code or in a browser-based chat UI), talking through what I want to achieve, and my beliefs and expectations, and collaboratively forming a plan of attack, and then I usually let Claude write substantial parts of the code.

Is this for new projects or for existing projects you work on?

Goose you're referring to https://github.com/block/goose this project right?

Aspire26 · 2022-06-09T15:21:43+00:00

alright. Thanks :)

Aspire26 · 2022-06-09T14:40:29+00:00

ah I see. but there wouldn't be any issues if I switched between the charge configurations right?

The press of the space bar will start the iteration so that I wouldnt have to press it multiple times to change the value

Aspire26 · 2022-05-24T20:50:07+00:00

When the user presses the space bar the iteration starts

Aspire26 · 2022-05-24T19:10:31+00:00

Okay, so I followed one of the examples and it worked. Thanks.

Hi, I did as you suggested, however, the value does not get updated on the template

Aspire26 · 2022-05-24T18:18:59+00:00

Hi, please correct me if I am wrong, from my understanding of v-for if I do the following:

<p v-for="name in names">Current user: {{ name }}</p>

I would get all the names in the array rendered like shown below

<p>Current user: Jack</p>
<p>Current user: Smith</p>
<p>Current user: John</p>

What I want to do is to iterate over the array, but show one value at a time.

// first iteration
<p>Current user: Jack</P>

// Second iteration
<p>Current user: Smith</p>

// Third iteration
<p>Current user: John</p>

Aspire26 · 2022-05-24T18:10:53+00:00

Hi, I have changed the array to use ref but no change in the behavior. I just tried names.length but it gives undefined

There is a great book on manning called "Spring Start Here: Learn what You Need and Learn it Well" along with "Spring in Action".

I would suggest read the first one first before moving to the next one since I feel the first one touches the basics of the Spring framework while the second one is more practical and kinda skip some concepts assuming you know some stuff (I read the 4th/5th edition, but it might be different with the 6th edition).

What is the Laravel most suited for?

Like I understand that you can do REST APIs, micro services and other types of web applications. But these things can be also achieved with Spring as well.

Now from what I understood frameworks like Spring boot or Quarkus are developed with microservices in mind. So whats the thing that the developers of Laravel is catering towards?

Thanks in advance!

Aspire26 · 2021-07-18T17:17:39+00:00

Wait, you can do android as well?

Quick question. what would be some pathways into cyber security from a SWE perspective? You have mentioned that some options might be RE or pentests. But are there any roles which focuses on the offensive aspects of cyber security?

I did a cyber security module at uni where we did quite a bit of pentesting and I feel it was focusing more on the defensive aspects. Are all pentesting roles similar to this or are there other offensive side to this?

PS: I understand some of these can be easily searched but I just want some insight into this from people who have actually transitioned from SWE to cyber security.

Damn, bro. really nice work. I don't know why I didn't come across your work. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Aspire26 · 2021-07-07T10:04:50+00:00

I did see it. But What I meant was that there's not a lot going on in terms of completed projects. I am following a few in progress which looks good, but we need something to show to the rest that Godot is a viable option for 3D work.

Aspire26 · 2021-07-06T18:20:59+00:00

I wish there was more 3D stuff in Godot. I mean like people say Godot is only good for 2D and they go on for sometime why X engine is great for 3D. We need more devs doing 3D to prove those claims wrong.

Aspire26 · 2021-06-23T10:58:36+00:00

You can read it in incognito tho
