1. Secrets of Modern Networking and High-Level Design

HLD Basics & Consistent Hashing

Addressing the Future of Software Engineering 🛠️

The Rise of AI:

Systems like ChatGPT and large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated the ability to generate code effortlessly. This has sparked concerns among developers about the future of software engineering careers. However:

  1. LLMs and Coding: These tools excel at producing code snippets but lack the nuanced understanding required to architect large-scale systems.

  2. Architectural Skills: Designing distributed systems, choosing the right databases, ensuring inter-service communication, and managing latency are areas where human expertise remains indispensable.

Building Career Longevity:

To stay relevant, engineers must:

  • Focus on mastering HLD.

  • Develop the ability to design systems for scalability, reliability, and efficiency.

  • Keep coding skills sharp but recognize that design and architecture are where value lies.
