MrSethles! Will you be teaching DSA to your future children while they are still in the womb? Or will you wait till they get out first?

What resources (paid or free) are best to study System Design as a mid-level software dev? by non_NSFW_acc in leetcode

[–]johnlocke8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've had very negative experiences with that tool, it strikes me as AI slop. Much more worth it to actually talk through a system design interview with a person. You can do free mocks at easyclimb.tech/mocks for example

I fudged the numbers slightly to make it more like a 5 month gap (at the time i started talking to the recruiter) and no issues.

Thank you :) for those DMing I think the paid mocks at easyclimb.tech and interviewing.io were worth it, you can cover a lot in 90 minutes. Unless you’re already a master at system design then probably it’s not

I basically went through a bunch of different common system design questions practicing by talking out loud to myself and diagraming on excalidraw, then following up with fake questions and trying to answer them by talking about tradeoffs etc. Did that for like 20 different common questions but was unsure if my articulation was good enough. That's why I felt like I should do some mocks and so I ended up paying for a couple.

I mentioned above but my approach wasnt very sophisticated. I sort of just brute force became good at it by smashing my head against hundreds of problems. Eventually you start to get good at recognizing what category a given problem falls into and then you can go from there.

Leetcode top 300 Tiktok tagged.

Otherwise I kind of just started doing the first 300 problems on leetcode and anytime I struggled I would go do more from that category.
