Time Sink Log #23
Work Log
Most of the weekend was busy with interview prep. Have *three interviews this week two system design rounds and another's first screening call.
Applied at one places via referral so expecting interview this week.
Did a lot of DB schema design, API design and overall system design problems like designing Instagram, Bookmyshow, Airline web check-in system and a Notification system.
Went through a lot of course material I had on system design to read on the design tradeoff of using one DB over other or caching techniques (write back, write through etc), designing effective DB schemas and capacity planning for the system.
Remark
I forgot to write the blog yesterday so writing a combined blog for the weekend.
Didn't code this week since a lot of time was spent on reading system design problems.
