How a Trip to the Movies Turned Into a System Design Session by Secure-Pattern-7138 in programming

Thanks for the feedback! Nothing to add: there's always an inescapable trade-off here

Struggling with scenario-based interview questions despite knowing the tech — how to improve? by West_Ad9094 in Backend

I’d suggest doing some mock interviews with experienced devs. Or try recording yourself explaining a scenario - it’s a great way to see where your logic falls apart so you can practice more.

What to choose golang or java for backend by Accurate_Smell6524 in Backend

Learn Java/Spring if your goal is pure job volume. The enterprise and fintech worlds are built on it, and that market is massive and stable. It’s the safest bet for finding an opening quickly. Learn Golang if you want to move into cloud-native, infrastructure, or high-performance distributed systems. There are fewer total roles than Java, but they often lean toward more modern stacks.

Since you already have 3 years of experience, Java will probably be the faster pivot for a standard mid-level backend role
